DeanCouchey 03-20-2004, 04:22 PM did you get fornt and back? Also where did you order the scion logo???
digidj 03-20-2004, 04:34 PM I ordered front and rear . They add the logo all you do is make sure they know you want it. They have it but it doesn't show it on their web site for a scion one but they do have it. Call instead of online order so they can get things strait. They are open on saturday also .
Al-Truistic 03-20-2004, 05:56 PM What kind of material is this, is it kind of like leather or more like he stock upholstery materials?
Thanks!
Docsnuff 03-20-2004, 06:08 PM It looks like it is Neoprene.

PandaIst 03-20-2004, 06:24 PM wet okole seat covers are neoprene. From what i know, they make one of best seat covers in the U.S., custom made and fitted for almost every car there is.
DJ_X_Trodinaire 03-20-2004, 06:53 PM ohh
not bad
silkywilson 03-20-2004, 07:57 PM yea Like a wetsuit... or a can huggie..
lowsheenla 03-20-2004, 08:32 PM They seem to fit really well, look great. How durable/comfortable is Neoprene? Haven't ever sat in a seat made w/it.
The print they used on there demo is HIDIOUS! Guess it fits in Hawaii though...
digidj 03-21-2004, 03:38 AM It is Neoprene Just like a wet suit. It should last a long long time.
Max2k 03-21-2004, 04:49 AM $250 is damn close to some pep boys replacement seats. that you could spill all the coffee in the world on.

I agree, $500 for a full set is way too expensive. For a 15K car, that is.
digidj 03-23-2004, 03:53 AM I think if you want it to last you buy the best. And do you think you can buy a hot lava replacement seat your dreaming. And original is the way to go. But you think pepboys is the way to go. You mother buys at the 99 cent store to . But not everyone thinks the same way. If you spend 2000 dollars for rims and tires 500 is no big deal. It all about style.
toyotaisme 03-24-2004, 08:17 PM Post some pictures when you get them installed.
randode 03-24-2004, 08:58 PM isnt that going to make your car smell like a dive shop? i'm just asking.
tbblizzard 03-24-2004, 09:15 PM my dad had those in his truck, took them off cause they retain smells... you can't get rid of smells out of them... make sure you wear a shirt too when you drive and that your ___ isn't hanging out rubbing the neoprene... that stuff will make you sweat then your sweat will get all stanky in the covers... they are nice material though, really good quality, just neoprene you gotta spray with fabreeze or something everyday.
digidj 03-29-2004, 02:20 AM They will be here in several weeks . And I will post the pics as soon as I find out how. Does anyone know how? As for the smell they are washable.
krunk 03-29-2004, 10:58 AM do you guys know what okole means?

Ahhhh shucks - now I'm not going to buy a seat. I was going to buy them to protect my seats from the flour and other crap I get covered with when at work (Papa John's), but since they absorb smells, they'll absorb the pizza smell. Darnett!!!! :evil:
rbloedow 03-29-2004, 11:19 AM do you guys know what okole means?
Thanks to the magic of Google, I've come up with butt, or gluteous maximus :P
Benthead 03-29-2004, 12:29 PM okole is, I believe, Hawaiian, for butt, or a$$. Okole-puka is, oh, you guys can figure it out. At least it was when I was stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station in Kaneohe Bay, way way back in the '70's.
digidj 03-29-2004, 07:42 PM Any seat or seat cover will collect smells . That is the reason for the cover. They are washable and repairable. Thats why they are so expensive . They are not for everyone but if you want protection for your investment then you have to decide . Good seat covers are almost impossible to find.
silkywilson 03-29-2004, 07:55 PM Yes Okole is but... wet butt to all the mainlanders... and dive shops offer wetsuit cleaner that I use on all my dive gear.. gets rid of all the funky funk...
krunk 03-29-2004, 10:56 PM haha yes indeed. . .at least not all you mainlanders are completely oblivious to us hawaiians. . .in the mainland ive had people ask me if i live in a grass hut or even have electricty. . .another person asked me if i knew what a french fry was. . .
silkywilson 03-29-2004, 11:59 PM LOL im Hapa Haole moms a local girl dad was a blonde and blue suffer hippie.. im a love child..lol friggin hippies...lol Born in honolulu and most my family on my moms side still lives there..
krunk 03-30-2004, 12:18 PM no scion dealers here yet. . .but ive seen about 3 scions. . .i dont think the dealerships open till June over here. . .i have to wait so long

DJ_X_Trodinaire 04-17-2004, 02:03 PM not bad at all
very close to the larva color
ALLSHOW 04-17-2004, 02:10 PM Dam those look good! How hard were they to put on?
toyotaisme 04-17-2004, 02:40 PM That look really nice. I almost when that route. I decided to pay a little more and get this.http://www.seidner-miller.com/xb/leather.jpg
digidj 04-17-2004, 02:47 PM It took 3 hours to put them on. It keeps everthing original so it will be worth more years from now.
Rayman 04-17-2004, 02:58 PM Finally I get to see the seats! :wink: They look nice. Nice match to the color. Like how they put the Scion logo on it.
digidj 04-17-2004, 03:02 PM I am not sure it looks like a felt sticker but you cant remove it . Maybe its silked screened or something.
Rayman 04-17-2004, 03:07 PM That's cool I guess you can remove it or change it if you get bored with it.
digidj 04-17-2004, 03:12 PM It cant be removed without causing problems. Next week my orange carbon dash kit gets delivered. They got behind and they shiped it on thursday. I still need to have a few custom orange carbon pieces made after the install. All I need to make is a template and send it to them.
Rayman 04-17-2004, 03:17 PM Cool. Can't wait to see the pics.
digidj 04-17-2004, 03:21 PM I cant wait until its over with. Puting the dash pieces on will be stressful to get every thing straight . Their are alot of pieces in this kit.
WheelSee 04-17-2004, 03:28 PM Those look hot on the Lava box...couple questions
How hard were they to put on?
and
Do they cover the Bag Hooks on the back of the front seats?(not a major concern but I'd still like to know)
~WC
digidj 04-17-2004, 03:50 PM The fronts were easy but he back took some time to do . I did it by myself so if you have help it goes alot faster. The hooks are not blocked they sewed in holes so you dont have to worry.
supitsmark 04-17-2004, 08:08 PM yeah wet okoles are pretty good. had some on my civic before. nice fit, but a little pricey.
Xbron 04-18-2004, 04:26 AM toyotaisme r those seats or covers
toyotaisme 04-18-2004, 04:39 AM toyotaisme r those seats or covers
no i almost bought the seats cover I decided to get leather instead. I do like the seat covers a lot and the sterring wheel too.
JASciON 04-18-2004, 07:09 AM I'm digging the seat covers digidj. Nice job!
I really like the steering wheel. How did you get that, and how would it be possible for me too.
I hate the OEM one.
digidj 04-18-2004, 01:43 PM The steering wheel cover is a Wheelskin cover . The orange is a special color and you cannot buy directly from wheelskin. Afterthoughts auto in texas bought their own orange leather and wheelskin makes them and drop ships them to . Its very fast service so very little waiting.

satanisanerd734 04-20-2004, 11:47 PM once they're in.. post some pics!
digidj 04-22-2004, 01:34 AM My orange carbon dash kit will be here on friday . So it will take part of saturday to install.
