Just finished my fronts, like Peter I removed the seats to do the install. It is next to impossible (IMO) for one person to do the install with the seats in. I found that hemostats helped in material tucking, particularly at the headrest points. Mine also split just a tad but once tucked under it doesn't show. If you have fingernails make sure they are trimmed and smooth, you will catch a snag. The directions are quite adequate.

Thanks Peter and Garm, love the seats and with the squash smell my dealer was all excited with the end result.

Clazzios installed

As promised, friend took the shots. Great product, well made and feels nice. I removed the seats for the install. After the first one was done the second becomes easy. Rear 60/40 is to be removed but I have the cover for it just in case.

Very nice!
Is it a true black, or more a graphite color?

Thanks....IMO they are black and match the dash color quite nice. I had to also consider the black leather on the Scion steering wheel and the Tacoma shift knob. I am happy with the results. As soon as Garm gets the material the side panels will be done.

They are holding up good. The passenger side doesn't have as much wear as the drivier's (obviously). The center portion ( the actual leather part ) on the driver's side is somewhat wearing; however, nothing is tearing or close to it. You just need to be sure to clean them with some leather wipes. That helps them out a lot! I'll take pics later on.

is this black on black? The interior area looks a bit lighter than the outer area...

It appears that way. Don't forget that camera flash will lighten up the target.

My seat covers are holding up real well. I couldn't be more pleased.
