Good seat cover for 200 series?

[Supra Turbo]

I'm not surprised they are doing this.. I'm continuing communication with them and sending refined measurements. Been chatting with them seems like every other day for the past month I'm hoping we get good fitting covers and they are hoping we will leave some good reviews. Seems they are fairly new to the market and hoping to expand business on various forums. They're sending me a 3rd set of headrests as I type...

Just let them know that we are ready to pounce once they are dialed in. Thanks for being the guineas!

Yeah, I was a bit surprised. I installed the passenger seat this morning before I went to work. Honestly it looks fine-ish the way it is. It's not on my seat though, so until I try that, not sure how much I'd notice. I'm guessing that they are using us for R&D and hoping to profit off having some good reviews and good fitting product after they are done. The pleather color is actually almost a perfect match for most of the plastic in the truck, like a better match than the OEM Cashmere leather, but obviously doesn't quite match all the other leather around the interior. It's not too bad though.

Adding a picture of it installed. My interior is weird because some dealer had it resprayed in places with a color that clearly doesn't match. So ignore the parts where the color is splotchy and doesn't look right.

This is how my seat backs look like on front seats.

On a side note, my yet another set of updated headrests should arrive early next week. I think with these additional final tweaks, they should be a pretty good fit, will post up once they're on. Probably will be the last change to the 08-15 LC seats.

I’ll be pleased if I get that fitment in my 2011 LC. I just hope the 2nd and 3rd rows are just as good.

Can't speak regarding those as I only ordered the front row. That said, if you have any problems with second or third rows, I would recommend reaching back out to Sunny and providing them with exact photos and measurements of fitment issues.

How is the side by the airbag pocket/B pillar? You can see in my video it's a little loose there, not a huge issue.

Also, has anyone asked EKR if the spray bottle + heat gun trick is a good idea on their seats?

Decent enough on my seats. Didn't feel like I needed to heat gun anything after a little massaging.

Installed one 2nd row seat. It’s not a great fit and was quite a bit of trouble. I was really hoping to be able to do it without taking the seat out, and maybe you can now that I know how much can be gained by taking the seat out (not much). The rear seats seem to integrate the plastic and the leather somewhat. So there are places where you definitely can’t tuck things in.

Also, you can get the corners tucked in a little neater, but as soon as you fold the seat down, that all comes undone.

Also definitely losing the access to the hooks on the back of the seat unless you want to cut up the cover. And the sides cover the forward/reverse switch on the side. Although it can still be used, as long as you know it’s there.

Sorry for the blurry images, the wide angle camera on my phone isn’t in great shape.

I do think anyone expecting a perfect fit, should look into fully custom covers or go one step further with OEM replacement leather. Though both are much higher priced options. IMO, for what these offer at their price, the fit is pretty good. At least when it comes to front row LC covers, looks like that might be a little different for LX and/or rear seats.

I will also add that having the seats removed helped me a lot. For the front seats, I was able to get the covers on then hold the seat upside down by the covers ends to let them contour to the factory leather as much as possible from the weight of the seat. Then took time massaging the leather over, particularly around the bolsters. I also have the bottom straps fairly tight.

I agree, it really isnt that bad. I probably shouldn’t have posted right after I finished. Was still pretty annoyed with spending 2.5 hours doing the one cover.

FWIW, it looks pretty darn good from 900 miles away.

In all seriousness, I know you're particular about your ride, but I'm impressed on the results you've achieved.

Remember, these are covers, not replacement upholstery.

How do they deal with the middle-row drop-down arm console?

I haven't installed that cover set yet, but pretty sure it's a separate piece for the armrest. I'm not sure if I'll use the armrest portion. I suspect it's going to cover to many of the functions of the armrest. But we will see.

Any updates on the reconfigured headrests?

Do you have a link to these covers? Still liking them?

I just reached out to Sunny regarding the 100 Series seat covers. Hoping they can make a grey set to match the "Stone". Thanks for all the 200 members that found these and posted pictures!

300K on the OE leather, and I really want to try to preserve it. I'm not a fan of the A/M leather"ette" stuff that peels in a few years time. I'd rather rock a seat cover and protect the OE...one of the things I hate about the 100's leather is how "slick" it has gotten. My seat protector for the pup slides all over the place, despite the rubber backing.

I'm still waiting on the last updated set to arrive, they have been a bit busy. But *should be* pretty darn close fitment wise. Will post an update as soon as I receive them.

I just got the initial shipping notification for what i assume are my new front seat backs. So yeah, took a few weeks after they got back from holiday.
