100 / LX470 Cloth seats possibility (2 Viewers)

[Raine14]

UPDATES!

1. I called Ed and he is all caught up and ready to produce the cloth seat covers for the first row ONLY. He said he has a good tan and grey option right now. This is for non-airbag equipped front seats, years 98-05 ONLY. He has patterns for both front seats, headrest, armrest and center console IIRC.

He said to call him to get the details sorted and orders placed. I would suggest that anyone interested call him and work out the details. Contact info on his site: Wolfmans Auto and Cycle Seats - https://hotrodupholstery.com/

2. Ed wants to provide covers for the airbag equipped 06/07 model years. He has the know how and materials (special thread and kevlar) but he needs one OEM seat back cover (either Cruiser or LX470, must be 2006 or 2007) so he can take them apart and make patterns.

3. Ed also wants to start offering 2nd row replacement covers in both leather and cloth. BUT he needs the access to a 2nd row for a short amount of time to make the patterns. He is located in Christiansburg VA (near Virginia Tech) so if there's anyone down that way that can let him borrow their 2nd row, or better yet needs their 2nd row redone, please let him know. He had a guy lined up but it never panned out. If anyone has replaced their 2nd row, sending him the OEM covers is also an option.

I was really hoping to get the first set but I'm going to need ones for airbag equipped seat, so I'll have to wait a bit.

Thanks for everyone's patience and feedback. If you get one of the first sets, please post up photos etc. I'll ask Ed for some pics of the covers as well.

IM his contact info to me.

I’m in NC but VA Tech is only 2 hours from me. I have an ‘06 LX and it’s my secondary vehicle and currently in the garage on the lift being overhauled for maintenance. I can take him any seats or covers he needs to make templates.

I really want cloth seat replacements. My leather is actually still in great condition but I just hate leather seats.

I was just thinking to myself last night that I was such a hoarder for keeping my whole interior in a box after I replaced it years ago. I just threw it all away a couple months ago because there was no way I needed to use it again because it wasn’t in a condition I would use. I guess I’ll have to start saving every old part again just in case

Has anyone taken delivery of and installed these cloth seat covers? Curious to see final fit and finish.

I'd be way more into cloth if/when I need to recover my seats. Fabric is just so much more comfortable and breathable.

Just call and talk to ED. The nice gentlemen that started this thread has nothing to do with making, ordering, or stocking these. Follow the link for contact info. Wolfmans Auto and Cycle Seats - https://hotrodupholstery.com/

Has anybody received or installed covers, leather or cloth?
Any pictures?
I've sent a message on their website contact earlier today requesting availability and price for tan cloth on both front seats and possibly armrest.
I'll update when I receive a response.

I installed the leather seat bottom covers in my 2006. Fitment and quality is fantastic. The passenger seat has wrinkles due to extra foam i added on the bolsters. If I hadn't steamed the foam back into shape it would have been perfect fit. Driver seat I only steamed the factory foam. (No extra foam added).

As I and several others on this thread have mentioned, just pick up the phone and call Ed if you have questions. He's extremely patient and helpful and it will make the inquiry process way faster and more accurate for all parties.

Thanks, that does look gorgeous. I might just order the tan leather if they look that good. I really appreciate the response and the picture.

Sorry if I missed it, but was there a reason you finally went with leather? I really appreciate all the leg work here and the end product does admittedly look great, but I was really hoping to see a quality velour-ish option happen…

I did those seat bottoms a year ago before the cloth seating option was available.

Ed can make you whatever seat covers you want. Just have to call him to discuss material choice etc. Post up pics if you end up getting some made.
