Hello , I haven't properly introduced myself I'm Steve in Atl Ga. I
haven't posted much but I enjoy reading everyone's posts daily ! (good laughs & info)
I have searched on the forum and could not find that many pictures of seats with covers , lots of talk about whats best and all that. Well I am posting with pictures and a few thoughts.
I looked at Wet Okle seat covers, GT / Great Covers, and SOA Covers, and trash bags.
I went with the trash bags. Cheap, replaceable, and easy cleaned. On the Fit scale was a 0 out of 10, with the price scale being a 10 out of 10. you cant beat it. I am kidding...
I went with the GT / Great Covers. Which is the same company with two different web sites. If you want the water proof covers which is a brushed canvas buy through the Great Covers web site and save 10 bucks.
Don't know why they charge you more on the GT site. I placed my order and with in three 1/2 weeks had the covers. I have an 1996 LX450 and dont believe there is any real difference in the shape of the seats. I think the LX had different grade leather?. Mine was still as dry as a witch's tit and cracked.
My first impression of the covers , they looked really good all the seams looked smooth and the general craftsmanship looked excellent. They did not have a strong oder or stink. The color did come close to the factory tan but not an exact match which could be due to sun fading and dirt on the factory seats. I dont know but the color looks good.
Installation went really smooth. The seat covers come in three sections: head rest, back , bottom. I wanted to install them without taking the seats out and see how good a fit I got. I started on the passenger side this was the hardest by far. The top half slid on easy and the head rest poped right on too. I give
the head rest a fit of 9.5 out of 10. I give the back section an 8 out of 10. The back loops under the and velcros around the bottom of the back. I had to unsnap and roll up a small srip covering this area. You wont believe what you can find in there. I had money, crap , a whole dog biskets -- but no pink panties.
Now the bottom section was a little hard to get the straps up underneath becuase the space is so small. I moved the seat all the way up and slipped the straps underneath the seat making sure not to snag any tracks or wires under the seat. This was a little trial and error to make things work. Once I had them slipped through the rest was simple. Just slip through the buckel and pull tight. Now I didnt tighten them all the way at first but I will after a few days. (simple). As for the fit, I give the bottom a 9 out of 10. I think it fits great.
cool features,
the price around $135.00
non-slip foam backing to keep them in place and a snug fit.
Bottom comes with three straps to help secure.
There is a pocket in the front of the bottom section.
There are side pockets and back pocket on the back for no additional cost.
Hopefully the pictures will show.
