back to those seat covers - 6G Celicas Forums

ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.

how about we go halfsies and I'll take a TON of pictures and write up the best how-to you can get!? 
if they truly are seat cover replacements for OEM ones, it will take a bit of work to replace them. there's a how-to on here on how to replace your seat covers here.

Notes:
Foam from leather seats and fabric seats are slightly different. The bottom portion of foam on the fabric seats is about 1 inch shorter and does not have this flap:
Also, the foam "shoulders" of the fabric seats is a bit shorter and do not protrude out as far as the foam on the leather seats.

^ yeah, but that's only applicable when switching from OEM fabric to OEM leather. Since these covers are aftermarket, I'm not so sure the above would apply.
omg, i've been looking for something just like this :-X

Dear leather-seat,

Thanks!

^ maybe you can ask for a sample of the leather used? they prob use the same leather on all the seats they make.
The guy told me the leather looks just like vinyl... like i didn't know that. Which still didn't answer the question of if they will make it in vinyl!!? I'm not about to drop 300 on 2 seat covers.

^ I don't think you SHOULD drop $300 on two seat covers. I watch their auctions often... drooling...waiting...stalking....
*wake up*
anyway, as I recall, often the auctions close at way less than $300. I believe I've seen them close as low as $100. I bet if you bought the whole set for that, or less than $300, you could sell the back covers to someone on here.
BTW I don't think these are your typical "seat covers" - in the little pix on their sell page, it looks like these are actually slip-on upholstery. They're installing them over seat foam in the pictures, and using a heat gun I'm guessing to activate some kind of adhesive on them or something? IDK
Sorry, quick thing– I was looking at the link they sent you and that one closed at 202.50 w/Reserve Not Met. I still think I've seen these close at less w/no reserve. But I was reading the description again: >
WTF is "gewgaw"?!?!

gewgaw \G(Y)OO-gaw\, noun:
A showy trifle; a trinket; a bauble.
Bidders paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for worthless gewgaws--fake pearls, ashtrays, golf clubs--merely, one supposes, because they were touched by the hand of this celebrity of celebrities.
-- Lawrence M. Friedman, The Horizontal Society
At least, you're tempted until you discover that the price of this gewgaw is $175.
-- Walter Shapiro, "Earn exciting prizes from the Republicans!", USA Today, March 27, 2002
Walk into almost any department store, and there it is -- along with mounds of other gimmicky gadgets and garish gewgaws that (no offense, Vanna) the world can live without.

got my covers yesterday nice nice quality. My only complaint is that they didn't leave a hole in the top for the head rest.... so i'll have to figure that one out when i install them. Not sure when i'm installing these I want to do it the same time i put my new carpet in, hopefully before the CSP meet.

can't wait to see the pictures!
i bought these, the whole geegaw thing had me rolling. especially since their "full leather" set consists of leather fronts and vinyl sides and back. they fit all right and they are actually good covers. my installer did a good job and he said they were good covers for the price since most stock seats are in that configuration of vinyl and leather. i got 50 bucks off when i brought that to the guys attention. 300 + 75 shipping total. they are short on the sides of the back, actually shows padding. ill take pics and post them. btw, hello guys....im new.

so you take the clothes off and swap these in?

old ones off, new ones on. i would have done them myself, but the last time i tried they didnt come out as perfect as i wanted them. besides, i really dont have the time or patience to mess with them. i took a few quick pictures but i dont know how to post them yet. they really are good covers, but not stock oem. i figured leather is a 1000 option on most cars so if i could get them for less than 500 installed it would be worth it. and honestly, it was....they came out good. but like i said, not full leather. i got black with grey stitching. the side bolsters seem a little more stiffer than stock, but that could have been my installer adding foam. the covers come with a foam backing like the stock ones and they fit really well. i really would reccommmend them as long as you are ok with them not being full leather. btw, they come from china.

cool. thks for the how to, that was a first. if you guys want more lemme know. been busy putting the interior back together, so ill post final pics later. i know it kinda sucks the covers dont go all the way down but this car isnt gonna be perfect no matter how much love (read money) i put in it. its not that bad with the seat back. i had cloth, so maybe if you had leather you wouldnt have this issue.
those look pretty sweet. almost enough to convince me to buy them. gotta check with my wallet first.

get a piece of black cloth and wrap it around so it looks like mesh or something. where did you get this one from. Ebay?
