Good seat cover for 200 series?

Snow and other projects have kept me from trying to fit one to a seat yet. Had a 3 day weekend this weekend and hoped to work on it, but then we got 4-5 inches of snow, and I do t have an indoor shop.
 
Was able to do this over the weekend. These are pretty easy and straightforward to install, but definitely helped having the front seats out of the vehicle and plastic trim removed. There are a few minor creases after install, but these will most likely iron out with some use. As expected, the front headrests were a bit too small to fit. I was able to stretch them over, but the bottom section would not "close". I've reached out to EKR and they will make some bigger covers for me once I get them the measurements.

Those look great.

I’m wondering if I should wait to order until they have the new measurements for the headrests. Seems they all have the same issue.
 
Hopefully they fit the LX this well.

Thanks. One should definitely take a few extra minutes to "massage" these over, but overall I'm satisfied for $169.

One additional thing to note is the center armrest cover condom that they send with these is kind of worthless. Though I didn't expect them to send it anyways.

Man those look great. Thanks so much for sharing. Is there no piping on your covers? the Pictures on their site kind of look like shiny black piping but yours don’t seem to have it? (Prefer without) I think I’m going to be a buyer of these once they get the headrests sorted out.

When you are ordering you can order with and without piping. I initially ordered without, thinking I didn't want the contrast either, but Sunny seemed to think I was crazy for ordering without, so I ordered with, but then had them use matching textile. I think all the pictures on their websites used examples with contrasting textiles, so it makes everything stand out. But as long as you get everything in the same color, it looks normal.

Thank you! As @lx200inAR pointed out, you have a few options to configure including material color, with or without piping, perforation and color of stitching.

I opted for black material, no piping, perforated centers and black stitching. If you do decide to order, send me a PM and I can provide a bit more detail on how to place your order with EKR.
 
Are there color and perforated leather options? I didn't see it on their website. Also, can they send color swatches? Thanks!

They don't have many options listed on their site. They do have various color options for the faux leather and perforation is a no cost option, as well as stitching color and piping. Unfortunately, they will not send color swatches - I tried asking multiple times.

Is that the only picture they sent you? I am looking for a dark gray for our '08 LX
 
Just received the revised headrests earlier today. Overall the updated sizing I provided to the manufacturer is much closer to the 08-15 LC seats.

Fitment wise, its hard to tell these are not original seat leather. IMO, they are pretty darn good for covers.

For $169/pair, I'm happy the way these turned out. Hope this helps anyone else considering these...

I guess we need to just tell them we need the updated headrests if we haven’t ordered yet?
