Default New Leather Interior

Just had leather installed on my 07 Classic Silver Prius. I had read a lot at how people did their own and the problems they had. Had a Shop that was recommended by Lighthouse Toyota in St. Augustine Fl and it was a Superb job with no wrinkles and they did all of the doors and center console. (The leather put in at the Port does not include the doors & center console) Ir ran $1100 plus tax. So if any of you are having second thoughts about pulling the trigger on the Leather interior I suggest you contact a dealer you can trust and ask where they send their interior repairs to. It was worth it!

Yes, post pictures when you have a chance.

Which aftermarket covers did you get?

Here are the pictures. They did all the armrests and the center console. The company is "Roadwire" and for install centers you can call 1-877-ROADWIRE. They don't show a website on my paperwork.

Was wondering, in your opinion how do they compare to the OEM leather that I think you have on your other Prius?

The seats compare equally except I got the ones without the perforations (they had those also for an extra 200 bucks) They are very comfortable and they sit as well as the factory seats. I believe the armrests and center console are better. They seem thicker and are all leather.
