    These custom seat covers look really sharp, and the testimonials that they have (of course) rave about them. Anyone here have any personal experience? Here are some example pics of some Prius seat covers by them:

    Looks like there is a lot of customization available! http://wetokole.net/page/WOH/PROD/TOY/PRIUSF

    The pricing on the website http://wetokole.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc...&Store_Code=WOH seems fairly reasonable. $225 a pair for the front buckets, $250 for a 60/40 rear bench. Rear pockets on both front seats is $40 extra total, and it's a little extra for piping and graphics. So under $600 total.

    I just ordered a set for the front seats. I will let you know how they are when they come in. Figure 2 to 4 weeks.

    Color? design?
    What did you order and was it just $225?
    I'm also curious how comfortable and if they will become hot and sticky on a really warm August day sitting in traffic...... :roll:

    I went to their factory store in Costa Mesa, CA yesterday afternoon. I looked at a bunch of installed seat covers (both on loose car seats in their showroom and some in employee's cars). They are simply the best-fitting seat covers I have ever seen. They look almost like a factory interior. I ordered a full set (front & rear) with seat pockets, a lumbar support for the driver's seat, and a center console armrest cover. With tax it was $590.00 (same price as buying it off of the website), and they will install it free when they are done. I'll post pics in about two weeks.
    The one thing I do not like about the Prius is the tan interior that comes with the pearl blue paint. This will hide a lot of that, and will be much less likely to show small amounts of dirt. Next I have to figure out if I can get a gray or charcoal replacement carpet for a reasonable price - any ideas?

    No, they shouldn't. They are covered with a layer of nylon fabric which doesn't feel like rubber or plastic. I was concerned about that until I visited the factory. They actually add comfort (as they are padded), and temperatures shouldn't be a problem.

    Brent.......Thanks for all the info! I've visited that same store. We live in HB....

    I'll probably get my window's tinted 1st (man was it hot today!)....... then maybe work on getting the seat covers later.......We go to the beach with the dogs alot.....so seat covers are definately on my list.

    How long for them to get them done?

    I ordered the standard front bucket seat covers, no pockets, no lumbar, with the Purple Aloha pattern. Cost was $225 plus $20 shipping.

    I got a call from Wet Okole. My covers are ready, and they are going to install them tomorrow morning. :D I'll post some pics over the weekend.

    I am going to be ordering mine tomorrow morning on the phone as I want a custom graphic. What colors have you been thinking about or did you get? That Cobalt blue really looks sharp. I got a set of tiles from them with Lt Gray, Charcoal, Cobalt, Mocha and a few others. They all look different than the digital pictures on their web page. The Lt Gray is not as white looking as in the pic, and the mocha is more lt brown looking. The cobalt is a little lighter blue too. The Lt Gray and Charcoal match, but then the current seats have a pattern to them and the covers will not. I am still drawn to the Cobalt, with either a dive flag for the graphic or the US flag.

    I ordered the charcoal grey with black borders. I'm getting them installed this morning & will hopefully post pics this weekend. I did not get a logo. I thought about having the Prius logo put on them, but they wanted 40 dollars for that and that seemed a bit excessive... also, the logos are sewn in, and that will possibly be a spot where the covers start to fray.

    Great. I chose the charcoal grey inserts with black borders. It blends in well with the existing dash colors. These seat covers are awesome! No wrinkles, sags, etc. even after a several hour drive. They truly do fit like a glove or wetsuit!
