Default help buying seat covers off ebay! (Finding a good fit)

Hey everyone!

I needed help seeing if ANYONE has purchased seat covers for their car, and how the fit was. Im looking to spend under $75 for covers, but I want them because I have a 07 and Id like to keep the covers on for MOST of my driving, but then when I go show the car off, id rather pull them off. I just want these covers to protect during maybe my trips to lowes, home depot or whatever.

Id prefer a standart black, with almost no color in it, but I am mainly interested in a nice fitting cover. Also rear seat functionality (up and down) is a must.


if anyone has purchased anything, can I get your feedback/review?

I was looking at these.

choice a

choice b

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...24564748QQrdZ1


also REALLY like these, but it looks like youve got to buy the back also for another $130

Id get that in a black/grey or a black/charcol

any input?

Well I think I'd stay away from the first one just b/c they're obviously retarded. If they really don't know what years the tC has existed, they wouldn't get my business for a part specifically for it. 2004 I can let go sometimes, as many of the 2005 models were sold in 2004... but 2002? WTF?

scionshoppe.com seatcovers are ok....the 1st generation had velour type insert, but the ones they sell now come in a that leather type material

i like the colors of mine, but everynow and then i have to tighten them down, so i am going to scrap them and do a katzkin swap...much better!

BE CAREFUL what you order

look at dealer feedback. the cheap ones aren't custom made for the tC, they are generic low quality crap.

the more expensive synthetic leather ones may look nice, but they dont include the back seat, only the front.

basically Id just stay away from ebay for that, and ive used ebay to buy basically everything except the car itself.

I have some front seat covers for sale made by wetokole. They are neoprene and fit really well, however they are black and green. Here's a pic:


These seat covers went for a lot originally, but I just want to get rid of them, I've got leather now!

Pm me if you're interested
