Wet Okole Seat covers. Red and Black

I decided to get a set of Wet Okole seat covers with my tax return. $3150 going to car payment the rest for car toys

I'm going with Red and black seat covers. Red for the inside panels and black for outside panels.

The one thing I cant decide on is what logo I should get. The logo will be black. I made this post to get your opinion. That and so I could make a post with a poll. B)

Should I go with the old school Prius logo or go with the new school Prius logo?

I think it would be nice to have a little old school with the new Prius but I also think that the new logo will keep the the car looking consistent with everything matching.

What do you think?

Of course when I get them I will post pictures in this thread.

Old School


New School

Yes they are water resistant. I think I remember that "Wet Okole" stands for "Wet Butt" in Hawaiian. The best way to describe them would be they are like a very thin mouse pad or wet suite. Cloth like material on top with some rubber stuff on the bottom. Go to http://www.wetokole.com/ to get some samples.

 

Well I think I'm going with the new logo. I'm currently in the process of seeing if Wet Okole will use my custom made new Prius logo. They currently have the old one ready to order but not the new one.

I'm getting them because I think it will make the car look good.

You will have to get an answer from someone that actually has them. They should not be hot by my guess because they are just like a wet suit only a lot thinner.

I just placed my order for the seat covers with the new Prius logo. Thanks to everyone that voted. I should e getting them in a few weeks.

 

Got my seat covers in today. They look great! They are exactly what I wanted. I'm glad I went with the new Prius logo. Just got back from moonlight bowling and I'm very tired. Just had time to take one picture and its not all that great. I could do better but I'm going to sleep. I will post better and more pictures by Tuesday after I get them installed.

 

Well after 3 hours and a cut finger ( I cant do a project without injuring myself :angry: ) they are finally installed.

I think the red matches the Barcelona Red perfectly. They look great and they feel great! They add a little more padding so the seats feel a little softer.

I bought the lumbar support for the driver side. It feels good but I don't know how well it will help on the long run yet.

I did remove the rear center armrest cover before adding the Wet Okole cover to it. I did this because I knew that it would be too thick. It was not not that hard to do. You have to remove the plastic cover on the right hand side of the armrest pivot point. Then unbolt it. The original cover is just zippered on.

There are a few things I don't like. One is that the back seats are a little hard to lock in. The second is that the rear center arm rest wont close all the way. Third is the center console is hard to close with the cover on. This is all because of the added thickness of the seat covers. I'm guessing this will all work its self out after they get worn in.

 

Thanks.

I ordered the swatches before I ordered. I highly recommend getting them before you order.

I highly recommend Wet Okole seat covers even if you don't get in the car soaking wet.

Also here is a link to the seat disassembly and reassembly in case anyone needs them.

Prius Seat Disassembly Instructions

You wont need to remove the original covers but you do need to disassemble some stuff to make it easier to install the Wet Okole covers.
