    Which color would best match the factory 05' Ivory (with Black exterior)
    N6, T1, T3, or T4? I like the textured material.

    I have a Seaside Pearl with the Ivory interior and went with Y9. In your case, I think the N6 would be the best. There's no need to exactly match what the seats are now, and the darker (or textured) material will hide the dirt better. :)

    I've got a black with ivory interior.

    I bought the faux leather GT covers and I believe the color I chose was "buckskin". Matches almost perfect. It is L2. Based on that it looks like T1 would be the best match. Maybe someone that got the cloth ones could tell you exactly what they bought.

    I'm considering seat covers for my ivory interior. (when I finally get my car that is!) For those of you who already have them, how is the fit? I don't want to have a brand new car with loose, unsightly covers.

    Thanks in advance!

    The fit of the GT covers is great. I often forget the seats have covers. Can't speak for other brands.

    Question:
    What's the difference between:
    " Front Bucket Seats - Adjustable Headrests, Carpet Back, NO Seat Airbags Option."
    AND:
    "Front Bucket Seats - Adjustable Headrests, Carpet Back, Seat Airbags Option." ?

    You want the seat airbag option.

    The Prius has airbags that come out of the sides of the front seats. The stitching is done in such a way that in a crash it splits and allows the airbags to deploy. The seatcovers have an opening and a flap that gets tucked in over that spot. That way the airbags can still deploy even with the seatcover on.

    Is that for all package levels, or just the ones with side curtain airbags?

    The Prius' side air bags come only as a package with the air curtains.

    Looks as if it is on all packages, except #2 (AG).

    I thought all of the front seat backs had the airbag inside?

    There isn't much difference. I'd play it safe and order the seat airbag option. It doesn't hurt.

    Hi Guys!

    My prius is due in Aug 18th (or so), and while shopping for seat covers, I finally found a set I really like, made by Wet Okole, but they only list 2004 model year. Was there any change in the seats with the 2005 model year? I sure hate to order these and then have to return them!

    I think so. Go to this thread at
    http://priuschat.com/forums/wet-okole-seat...ers-vt7705.html and there are pictures in the 2005s.

    The 04 and 05 shoudl be the same.

    As far as seat cover color, I just got the covers offered at toyotapartsstore.com. They look very nice, but I don't know what color number they are in GT's catalog.

    I love my GTcovers. They're great.

    My GT covers match the interior seat color - grey and accomodate the air bags. Look great. Most people cannot tell I have seat covers, even with the rear seats kept in the folded down position. The covers stay clean.
