Ya I really like those PT Cruiser seats for grey interiors, but haven't seen any good color matches for a brown&tan striped interior.
If anyone has found a good match for brown then pls post up some pictures, thnx.
I do really like the armrest feature, that's really nice, especially for those of us who still have the original console.

Was wondering if anyone has installed two front seats in the rear instead of the bench?
I posted this last year. In February, I'll have had my Matrix for 10 years. The seats have worn well (it does help that I've taken care of my car and only weigh 180 pounds) and are still comfortable to sit in for hours on end. In fact, I used to be a mechanic for CarMax, meaning I've sat in all kinds of cars, and while not the absolutely most comfortable seats I've ever sat in, they're up there. The upper-end, first generation Matrices and Vibes had a fold-down passenger seat with a hard tray in the back and the driver's seat has an adjuster for tilting the seat forward and back. Even the gray cloth on the Matrix seats matches the gray 60 series interior. They do lack a little in side bolstering, but the cloth is fairly grippy and it's not such a big deal in the Land Cruiser. I've gone around the Tail of the Dragon a few times in my Matrix and they were adequate. Unfortunately, the ones going in my 60 are coming out of a Vibe, so they're black, but I'll remedy that when I redo the whole interior in leather. I haven't installed them and don't know when I will (they're still at work in a junked Vibe), but can take pictures of my car's interior if anyone so desires.
I've seen it done. Didn't look right (to me) and you lose the ability to fold the bench and have more cargo room. You could get some fold-forward seats, but you still wouldn't have the flat floor created by the back of the bench seat.
If you're curious what it looks like, just look in a minivan with second row bucket seats.
Thanks I had the same reservations. I guess I was just looking for a way to throw more money at this thing. lol

I have to agree with RR on this one.
There are better places to throw money and not lose the usefulness of the rig.

I bought these GT Covers for my 88 FJ62, in blue leatherette.
I spent $452.50 for two fronts and rear, and I think they look pretty good. Not too hard to put on, made a video, see youtube link here

I put in some seats out of a 2008 bmw they are black leather power and heat they are awesomely comfortable they do sit pretty high and im tall but I love it!! You will have to build a bracket for them but it only took me 1 hour to build the both of them! plus I only paid 200 bucks for them!!
Anybody ever installed cooled seats? I have no desire for the power stuff and no huge need for heated, but cooled would be sweet as hell around here!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't those cooled seats have fans that blow air through the bottom and back of the seat?
Yes. They're going to at the very least have fans for cooling the bottom (and maybe the seatback as well). Higher end cars actually have the seats tied into the A/C system.
So, there are cooled/ventilated seats and then there are air conditioned seats.

Yeah I'd be happy with either; I'm sure the basic ventilated ones are much simpler to install. I'd just like to keep the sweat off my backside during the summer.
My point is that all ventilated seats are electric. If you want manual ventilated seats, then cut holes in your existing seats and you're good to go. If you didn't want to wire your seats, then look elsewhere.
Re=upholstered stock seats. With heaters and adjustable lumbar!

Those look nice. How comfortable are they? My (admittedly worn down) stock seats kill my back.
