The nice folks at ScionShoppe had me out today so they could install the first production set of their new seat covers. I had the good fortune to buy the very first set of seat covers they made for an xB and now I have the very first set of the new covers. (other than the set in their xb)

The new covers use no velour, it's all vinyl material and looks much better in my opinion. They look much more like a leather interior.

I started out this morning by gassing up


Grabbed some snacks for the drive


Hit the road at 9:30 am with the trip odometer reset


I wasn't even on the freeway for a mile and I saw an RS3 Box


Started out with a good average speed


Driving through downtown L.A.


Ran into some traffic


Found out why, a fender bender


Saw a nice Mustang on the way




Saw a few more xB's on the road



Finally I hit Oxnard!


Lots of farmland by the shop


Jan was waiting there for me when I arrived


Into the shop with the surfcitylocal ride, the BOP belongs to the owners fo the ScionShoppe.


All the covers waiting to be sent out


Less than two hours and a little over 83 miles


While I was there I installed a set of GoldLine springs on their Box. I also installed a new set of red OBX pedals and a set of underdash/underseat red cold cathodes.

They look so much better lowered!


Time for lunch

Joe and George aren't waiting for me!

After lunch it was time to get on with the installation!


Jeff and Susan getting the fit just right












After a two hour drive home to Huntington Beach I can say the new seat covers are just as comfortable as the old ones and look much better.

If you are interested in the new seat covers check them out at ScionShoppe's website: www.scionshoppe.com

Thanks Joe, Jan, Jeff and Susan for the new covers and the lunch!

 

Looks like a nice tight fit. Even did the arm rest----sweet!!

 

so is the price online the total price for all the seat covers? (fronts and back).. if so that's an awesome deal!

 

i have these for my tc, and i cant seem to find any decent directions to put them on myself, so they are not that tight!

could you point me in the right direction to get them? i e mailed them and all they said was the directions that were sent were the only ones they had and they were horrible!

 

I like the look of the white and black...yeah that is a good deal on a set of covers. How's the stitch quality?

 

wow...that looks nice. So are the 2nd gen vinyl seat covers the same price as the velour?

 

yeah i didnt notice how the first gen was velour and the 2nd gen were vinyl - oh well, i would rather get real leather....

looks good tho

 

Thanks for the nice comments, the folks at ScionShoppe will be pleased. To answer a few questions...

The sewing is awesome, no loose threads.

The price for the new all vinyl set is more than the velour. They will still offer both sets and there is a discount for members of car clubs.

Leather is nice if you can afford it but this is more in my spending range.

They did the seats, headrests, armrest and shift boot.

They will be offering covers for the new xB and xD once they hit the dealerships.

 

Any idea when they will show on their website???

 

I got the gen 1 and love them. Great quality and fit.

 

I want this bad! I will have to email them.

 

We just took pics of my Box on Friday while I was there so the items should be up on the web site next week.

If you are ordering be sure to tell them that you are in a car club (if you are) and you will get a discount.

I did mention Roswell to them and they seemed excited about it. I hope they will go again as well. Once we find out the date it will be easier!

 

do the make it in solid colors?

 

I believe they can, we had talked about all white for my ride and I change my mind for two reasons, too hard to keep clean and I'm not that Pimp! Give them a call and talk to Jan, she can answer any questions you might have.

 

Looks like i may get these seat covers sometime this yr..

 

This is MY experience with them..

You're the only person I've heard of who has had a problem with ScionShoppe. They are a family owned/run business and everyone there is extremely nice and easy to deal with. I have spoken to over 50 Scion owners who have purchased covers from them and not one has had anything to say other than praise for them. Sorry you had a bad experience, I hope it was all worked out in the end.
