    Hey there, I need some new seat covers for my 04 after a chocolate/soda fiasco. Has/is anyone switching over to leather and is willing to sell them? Please let me know.

    You may want to check out the seat covers available on ebay, and through ExactSeatCovers. They are very nice. They seem to be made by the same people, just have more options (and higher price) when you order from the company direct. There is a revew here http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=16631&hl=

    Unfortunately, the pictures don't show anymore. But they are a nice match, and can also be removed for machine washing (in case the soda pop thing happens again). Check out the end of the review for a few pictures.

    Are you sure the stains will never come out? Some owners have gotten amazing stains out of the Prius fabric seats.

    Sorry. Didn't see your post until today.

    FYI, there are OEM seat covers available on ebay periodically.

    I bought a brand new set off of a 2008 Prius for $49.

    They are a PITA to install properly --- it's a job best left for a professional auto upholsterer. It involves disassembly and re-assembly of the seats, disconnection of the battery or some wires under the front seats, removal of the original covers which are held in place by over a hundred hog rings, installation of the new covers with a new set of hog rings. My guess is that a pro would install them for you for $250-$500.

    I myself only needed to replace the driver seat portion. Because of that, I jerry-rigged it myself, i.e., I didn't properly install them, but it's good enough for now. I'm keeping the other cover pieces for if and when I need them.
