If you're looking for Aftermarket leather Alea has the best quality. They make all of their kits out of Italian hides and they can make any kit fully customizable to include perforation, two-toning, piping, contrast stitching, and anything else you might want done. Give them a call at

I am looking at some Pecca leather covers for my TCH, so far from what I have read, they are decent covers. If anyone has an opinion on them, let me here them please.

Man I would hate to be one of the Italians whose hide they used!

I was quoted $883 for a leather upgrade installed in our 2009 Prius, from the dealership.

i did mine at a professional leather installer where their CORE business was leather upholstery for vintage marqs like Mercedes, Austin Healeys etc... and they had a special restoration department for old 911SCs and 308s etc.... I saw an old Ferrari being restored and i thought if it was acceptable by those standards, then it would do for my Prius! The place was similar to what was described below by "mcorautomotivellc"....


....And, if you want leather installed, you DO have options. We do lots of two-tone leather with perforated inserts for the local Nissan dealership. We do suede inserts for the local Chevrolet dealership. You can also get either pleated or smooth options, different colored piping (not too popular anymore), or custom embroidery in the headrests. And, it is really not too much more! Or you can just get the OEM equivalent. If you ever have any specific questions, feel free to email me. Some dealerships are a little "undereducated" when it comes to leather.....

Are there any instructions on how to install the leather seating surfaces from the cloth?

I'm just doing my 2006 with leather. Have finished the back, about to start on the front.
