Oh Yeah, I see!!!
For the triple the price they better look a whole lot better, but for the price you can't beat Clazzios.

I believe he got a custom color which is why it was so expensive - just pricing a kit out on the site puts it at ~$750 with leather seats / suede inserts.

EVOHUNTER 02-09-2016 01:53 PM

My evo x was 728$ - red leather, with red suede inserts. only real leather on front of seat, fake on back.
Front and back seats, with Recaro emblem on both front seats and the 3 back headrests.

I bought on black Friday last year, it was 15% off.

Just installed my clazzio covers on Sunday. I didn't take out the seats out so it was much harder. However this is my second time buying clazzio seats and as the first time not disappointed especially with the price. Of course leatherseats.com is nice however I am protecting base seats which make more sense. Man the headrest was tough lol

Looks great! Mine are still in "Production" so I probably have many weeks to wait.

How about some more/better pics?

kenchan 02-11-2016 02:03 PM

I will try and upload better ones later. In regards to wrinkles don't have much if any now. I waited since end of Nov and got mine in embroidered almost 12 weeks total not bad

Jayhovah 02-18-2016 10:46 AM

I'm at the 1 month mark now, waiting on my order...
Still says "Production"... =(

Thanks for offering up the advice on the headrest cover. It's a nice day here and we decided to get the passenger side in. Working on the headrest now- it's like putting a gallon of crap into a quart sized container.

Still trying to get the velcro to meet too.

The velcro part is a lot easier if u have someone pushing down on the front in the middle of the seat and someone pulling the velcro from the back. Headrest was hard with 1 person and damn near impossible, but with 2 people just flip the headrest clazzio inside out about half way and just have 1 person squeeze the headrest and the other person pull down on it, 5 min job with 2 people, 1 person couldn't even do it in 1 hour. haha.

Hubby was helping me with the seat cover and we pushed/pulled, pushed/pulled. Gonna wait for a warmer day and a few times sitting on it to see if it stretches a bit. Gotta say, it looks great even though the velcro is not attached.

I did the headrests myself since he had to move on to another project. Took me about 75 min to do both with a hairdryer. I had them off the seat, inside the house. Probably a mistake but they got done.

Other owners have said "yes, wrinkles disappear" here on the forum. My covers were unpacked and sitting in a warm house for probably 3 weeks before I caught a day nice enough to work outside. We worked on the passenger side yesterday and even though I still can't get the velcro to meet in the back. there are no wrinkles as I've noted in some other pics. HTH.

kenchan 02-29-2016 06:45 PM

thanks, hulagirl. :D

maybe u need to invite a taffyapple to sit in your seat before pulling the skin over? :ugh:
then u might have too much slack, huh? :ugh2:

Looks great from the pictures

Well, I was finally able to install my seat covers (^o^)v. My Dad had to help me because I am clutz when it comes to manual labour (>_<)
Anyways, here they are. I am happy they came out well. I have been using the sear covers for a few days and the wrinkles are almost gone.

Looks great! I am waiting on the same combo. How long did you have to wait?
I am at 8 weeks and it still says "Production".

Okay, can someone who has installed these covers answer this question from the instructions

The Bottom Seat
Item 5: Fix the belt of the front side with the plastic part

Does this mean use the little black plastic tool to "neaten up" around the area of the seatbelt?

it a finesse tool. you use it to gently poke the material around and behind the side panel of the cushion. so you can make it look a lil gooder. i used to work for lear seating, building seat for BMW X5 and Z4s. the come in real handy.

My order took about 11 weeks. Overall it did not fell that long, and I was very happy when I actually got it.

Yeah, pretty much. I used it to make my seat fit better and look better

Thank you both! I really only found the need for the tool on the driver's seat near the area where the latch is to recline the seat. That was extremely tight!

ColemanLee09 03-20-2016 08:58 PM

Forgot to add photos a few weeks back but here they are. Drivers seat has had more seat time during its ~50k miles, as you can see the cover sags a bit more.

Did you have any trouble tucking the cover over the drivers side recline lever? Yours looks really tight but mine is a little loose right there... Just installed today! Super happy with them.. got black/red like the OP.

DeliriousClam 04-05-2016 09:20 PM

I like the idea of these a lot but I have a couple of questions if someone could answer them for me.

With these installed, the bolstering doesn't seem as pronounced as it does without the covers. Do the seats still feel as snug with these covers on?

Feels just as snug to me. I think the inserts just "float" a little without any pressure on them. When you sit down you can still feel the bolsters holding you in the seat.

hmmmm.... I'm gonna have to look into these. Might use some velcro or dual lock to stop the float

anyone has an upholstery shop do install, how much $

I think if you are looking for that level of detail, you might be happier reupholstering with a kit from leatherseats.com or the like. These covers look and fit remarkably well for covers, but they're still covers. For example, you can't tuck them over the drivers side reclining level (at least, on my car I couldn't) so it is loose there and that kind of thing may drive you nuts.

I did the install myself in a about 3 hours total and much of that was just me trying to figure out how to get it to fit the best. I could do them in under an hour now. I think an upholstery shop would be over kill, but they could probably do it in an hour or less... but really its easy enough you should consider just putting them on yourself. They're still just seat covers =)

One thing I am really digging about them is the seats now have a large pocket on the back. The Z needs as much storage space as it can get.
