i ordered one of the last sets avail... for 260, and considering what everyone else has shown, i figure i can't go wrong. I'll end up taking it to a shop to get the doors done, and while i'm there, i think i'll have some custom colored panels and stitching done on the covers, then install them myself.

You'll love the way it looks. I have a BOP xB and ordered the exact same set of leathers.

The reason that these kits match the charcoal interior so well is that they are manufactured in a plant owned by toyota, intended for use as factory upgrades, according to the seller. take that for what it's worth.

I've seen the 'factory' leather several times, and this looks close enough to believe.


hey dugzilla- how much trouble were the headrests? not sure i can envision the process for that...are they open-ended, and just need to be stitched up?

The headrests were not that bad. I didn't take them off, I just hacked away until the monitors fit LOL, actually I was scared as hell to cut into those. After doing the first one it wasn't a big deal.

They aren't stiched at the bottom, there is a plastic tab that locks everything into place.

I am so excited! I just ordered one of the last sets! I have been searching for an affordable set & this is unbelievable!! I have 3 kids & they are torture on the cloth seats! I also ordered the hog ring kit from JC Whitney. It was less than $11 & comes with the pliers & 100 rings. I can't wait to get them!!!

Dougzilla, where'd you buy your monitors & how much were they? I can't seem to find a set that I really like & aren't some freaky off-brand.

Just to let anyone know...accessoriesrusfl is selling 2 of these kits on eBay right now. One has the half-butt scion emblem and the other is without the emblem.
