OK thanks, thats very good to know. Would you happen to have any pics of yours? I just want to see how they hold up to the wear and tear of daily driving or just driving for that matter.

Thanks bro. Took a good amount of time and a lot of effort, but it came out great. You'd think they'd go on no problem, but in reality they actually take A LOT of work to make really tight and flush.

hehe jk
Haha, more like 1/10th of the price.

I did not, lol, I just wanted to get them on. Had no interest in taking off the OEM leather to be honest with you man. I've never done that before and I didn't want to attempt it.

Nah no crease. As I said just take a lot of working at it to get it really really tight and flat onto the primary surface.

I just have one question, when you fit these over the front seats do you loose the function of the seats pockets? Or is that also taken into consideration?
Exactly, that's what makes them so great. Honestly nobody will be able to tell they're covers unless I drop the bomb... Maybe i'll try and pass it as a 2k re-upholdstery (sp?) of my interior, lol, j/k.

And no they come with pockets built in. Very nice ones at that. Almost identical to the OEM ones to be honest.

I tried to use it when I was first putting it on and it was still functional, but looks funky when you use it. I'll take a pic and upload it for you to see what I mean.

I plan on going to a shop and getting them to get that done and color match them to the interior.

Actually if you go onto their website they only make them for specific vehicles unfortunately.

Not to say they won't add more cars, but for now they do not do them for EVERY vehicle out there.

awesome! Your interior is night and day.

Thanks for sharing! I'm in So Cal and I just added this in my to do list for 2012. I'll be doing the all black leather version with the red stitching, like what they have on their site.

Haha I wouldn't say easy to install! It was definitely a job, but worth it in the end.

I have not been able to get it to close sadly. I was trying today hoping that if I punch it enough and press hard enough it would slip in eventually, but it seems i'm getting no luck in that area. I know to most people that would definitely be a deal breaker, but for me it's okay because I plan on getting a rear VIP table that will sit on top of that rest anyway, so it doesn't really bother me. Plus I rather mine down than up anyway.

Of course like I said to most people this would be a deal breaker and I can imagine people with families would also say no to it because of that. Considering i'm still 19 and no family, this doesn't effect me much, haha. I do however plan in the future to just re-upholster the rear and front arm-rest with diamond stitching along with my door panels to get everything to flow together perfectly and just complete the car.

After seeing how your set up came out, and getting my samples from Clazzio today I'm definitely cooking up a crazy sick design with suede inserts.Seems like a good company they follow up and make sure you recieved your samples and offer any assistance they can to ensure you get what you want.
