Default leather covers I'm happy with

I bought these from ebay about a month ago and I love them. A little tricky to install, even when using manufactures translated directions, but they look sweet.
I ended up using a child's plastic knife to tuck the edges (console and rear seat panel pieces) and it worked great.

I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

Everyone I've shown it to can't believe they're not factory. I'll do my best to post some pics later this evening.

edit: I ordered the ones with suede insides, all charcoal.

I apparently can't leave a URL as a newbie, so just search for
JDM luxury seat cover for a prius. they are legit!

Yes, it took me a better part of 2 hours though. The fit is soo good that it takes some good time to slip them on. Not to mention a little muscle. Good thing I work out. . ..

Very nice. Thanks for the photos. I thought they were probably the Clazzio leather covers, but I wasn't sure until you posted your photos.

BTW, at least two other Chatters have installed the Clazzios with the smooth or perforated leather center panels. You might want to compare notes and check out one of their threads:

Clazzio Leather

Thanks Boo, I didn't bother looking for 'Clazzio'. Good to hear I'm in the upper quartile with instalation time.

I'm one of the Clazzio cover installers in the "Clazzio" thread and I think your seats look great. I like them better then the factory leather seats and I've got nothing but good comments about them from people who have been in my car, including some car buffs and upholsterers who can't believe the fit and ease of installation.
