Gen III seat cover

I just found this:

FB10 = Dark Gray
FB60 = Misty Gray
FB40 = Bisque

So you have the same color interior as I do - dark gray.

 

I just ordered the light gray seat covers that are in this thread. I really hope they look good. I'm excited to see how the light gray seat covers will look in my car that has the rest of the interior based around the dark gray color.

 

Did you get only seat covers, or did you also get leather for the steering wheel, console, and door panels?
Hope it all works out.

 

From what I understand it's the seat covers and the center console. After I get them installed I will go to my local upholstery shop and get them to match the leather from the seats and put it on the door panels, and possibly the steering wheel.

I'm wondering if a better option would be to get a leather steering wheel from the Toyota dealership?

 

I am about to leave for vacation so I was too lazy to pull the car out of the garage to take pictures. So here are some pics using the flash.

 

Looks pretty good...thanks! Are you happy with the look, fit, feel, etc? Does it look nice and professional to you?

 

I'm very happy with it.

When it come time to install, anyone can send me a PM or post a message here with questions. I'll give you some tips that will make it easier and faster. I check my mail on my phone so I'll get it right away.

 

Looks really nice! And not as expensive as I would expect something like this to be.

 

At the bottom of this page they have a leather wrapped steering wheel for $55. It says it comes with needle and a thread. You can get two tone if you want but I'd go with one solid color as the wheel already has "aluminum" accents going through it.

Hi!

Just a couple of quick questions:

Any hints for the rear seats? Did you have to pull out the base or the backs? And how did you do the little arm rest in the middle of the rear seat?

Thank you kindly

I did pull the base off to put the bottom cover on. The armrest is a seperate cover then the larger back, top split cover goes behind. You have to do the back top seats while the back base is out. When the back base is out make sure to put a blanket or something where the base goes to prevent the back top from folding all the way down and hitting something sharp.

 

Thank you kindly To pull out the bottom seat is it just the two bolts (one on each side of the seat?)

 

anyone recommend some cheap seat covers for the IV?
Mostly I just want to keep the leather protected. Except for smoothness/sliding, not sure I could tell the difference while driving. All those little holes seem like a place for residual cleaner to gather grime so I want a cheap cover.

noob question. Where are these side airbags that can interfere with seat covers?

 

"How did you pull out the back base ?" Where are these bolts somebody else was talking about?

 

To take off the base of the back seat there are not any bolts. There are two pressure catches about a foot or so in from each side. A hard pull up releases these and the seat slips right out. To install the seat covers you have to remove two or three bolts for the seatbelts at the base of the seat but this has nothing to do with the base lifting out. To re-install the base (at least with the cover on) is much harder than taking out. For me, I couldn't get the pressure catch to catch the base . I finally figured out that in order to get it back in I had to remove the plastic insert that the seat clips into. I then put those inserts on the catch bars on the base of the seat and pushed it into the hole in the frame where the plastic inserts were originally. I know I'm doing a horrible job at explaining this but it's very apparent what I'm saying once you have the seat out.

 

Wow.. I guess I will find out what you are talking about in about a week when the covers come in. I ordered them today. I noticed you had the dark gray cover from your pictures and you were saying they only have one color of gray. I also have a 2010 light gray (FB60) Prius. When I taked to him (Yoji) today, I asked him for a light gray. He said He can do it, but thay would have to make them from scratch. So I guess we will see what he comes up with.

 

how are the light gray color covers coming along, can you please post some nice pictures of you seats. I also have misty gray interior and want to install Clazzio seat covers but I am not able to decide between dark gray like OP has or light gray, which I have not seen any nice pictures here on PC.

 

I made the mistake of ordering black with my dark grey interior. It turns out to be okay as it gave the car a two tone look
