    That's why we shoved a screwdriver in there and held it open so the other person could shove the fabric in

    This might be a stupid question but why not just remove the 2 pieces & then wrap them?

    Yes! Pics and more details please! Would love to do that so long as the seats came up high enough and there are no serious safety or airbag issues. I'm guessing this was not a cheap mod...

    Here are a few pics. The CT200 seats bolt right in however the passenger seat wiring harness needs to be swapped from the old seat to the CT seat.

    The driver side plugs right in but the up/down movement isn't working & both seat warmers aren't working yet.

    I have the wiring diagrams for both......it's just a matter of figuring out the terminal locations for each harness connector. It's a lot more work than I thought. I do have the memory seat buttons & complete wiring harness (I hope). Maybe I can get it all working.

    Sweet upgrade man. Did you get the seats brand new?

    Definitely white. The blue remind me of over-modded tuners. I like how they've taken advantage of existing real estate rather for a clean install option.:cool:

    Very cool. I have been thinking about doing something similar. Thanks for validating this for me --- now I can add that to another mod I will definitely do.

    Thx. I got them used from a wreck......about 20k on them. Helps to know the owner of a body shop sometimes ;)

    I agree, that looks really nice. Good luck with the rest of the wiring.

    Man, that's a nice score. They look brand new! I think this mod trumps your folding mirrors.

    Yeah Sean, gotta agree with the above. Those seats look great! Looks like they came factory. Major upgrade :cool:

    I got my Shark fin antenna in the mail last night. I'm going to install this weekend at my partner's parents house since I can't do anything like that at the condo complex. SO, here's hoping for nice weather and a steady hand!

    I also pick up my weathertech Floor liners today. I'll install them tonight. I'll give her a good vacuum first.

    Once this is complete, I think I'm finished with my mods/additions except for ordering the proclips holder and mount for my i-phone and ordering the weathertech window vents. I'm still holding off on doing the window film on the front windshield until Toyota has a TSB or something on it. I don't want to get the strip done and then Oh here we'll replace your windshield and I have to get the strip done AGAIN!

    Oh, and I'm almost tempted to order the push button shifter for the car. It's a little pricey. I might wait a year and see if prices drop or not. I'm also debating whether to do an HID upgrade on my high beams or not.

    Thx. I'm hoping the wiring isn't going to be that difficult.

    Thx. (y)

    Thx. That's what I was hoping for.

    Thx

    Good luck and take good notes, with pics. I have a feeling there are others that will want to follow your example!

    I was actually thinking of doing the same thing. I'm very interested to know how it turns out.

    Hopefully installing the H&R springs this weekend and I STILL need to install the fogs and grill. Most annoying thing is having parts just sit around the garage and not having time to get to them :(
