    Yes...seatS.

    I want to swap out the old seats with new(er) ones. I'm in luck because my seats are manual, so there's no electrical to worry about.

    I've been looking at parts places, salvage yards, and any place that ISN'T a toyota dealersship. So far, web sites aren't updated regularly (so I miss out on some stock), phone calls aren't returned, and some places won't ship them.

    So...what's a gal to do?

    Does anyone have a recommendation on a parts shop that has spare seats? If it's close enough to Denver, I'll just drive out and pick them up.

    All I want is a full set of seats in beige leather.

    And, might as well ask here..., can I use any year seats from 2004-2009 for my 2005 Prius?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes you can use any from 2004-2009

    Maybe you can post a WTB ad on Priuschat? I personally hate leather, it gets sooooo hot under the sun.

    My 2005 came standard with beige leather....and they are not that great. My cloth seats from 2006 feel way better

    It is possible to recover what you have, are salvage seats cheaper? By the way leather seats were not an option on the 04 and 05 models, dealers installed them with aftermarket leather.

    Well then 2005 Toyota aftermarket leather......looks pretty original and feels like crappy Toyota leather.

    I did not know about the cloth standard for 04 and 05. Thank you.

    It seems that Clazzios are the least expensive, highly-rated, best looking leather cover option, but I also want to firm them up. Maybe the shape issue is all in my head and all I need is to just look more at Katzen or Clazzios.

    I forgot about leather in the summer...that's another thing I should consider.

    Thanks all!

    @Daves09prius
    TRDSparks.com has the Clazzios for $499, and PriusChat Shop has them for $449.
