his feedback from another thread -

Monk:
I was going to take pic's of the install, but it was too easy.
Put the back rest on 1st(keep the head rest post holes in line with holes on top of cover and slide the cover down.
Put the straps though the slot between the seat & backrest, then put the front of seat cover over the front of the seat. Slide the seat forward and pump it up so you can work under the seat. Bring the straps under the seat to the front strapes(be sure the strapes don't get in the way of anything that moves when moving the seat, also route so it doesn't mess with the lock/unlock bar at the front.

That leaves 4 tathered hooks that need to be hooked uder the seat to the seat springs. Two are the back side, and two are from the seat sides.
Then it's a tight fit, but stuff the door sides of the seat cover inbetween the seat cushion and the seat frame to keep it out of the way of the seat controls and to make it look nice.
Make sure all the strapes are tight when finished. Time will vary depending on how picky you are(I am).

The quality of the covers and the detail in which they are sewn, are excellent. The straps that run from back to front need to be 2-3" longer(not for it to work after snapped together.... but to make it easier to close the buckles(and I'm good at this stuff). Need to have some spare "strape end" away from buckle before passing under the seat. Easy fix, just tell the manufactures.

The seat covers have the right amount of material to form to the bucket shape of the seats after they have been sat on/used after time. They feel comfortable and are a little easier to slide in and out of the car, as opposed to the stock seats(non leather).

They were made/sent/del well with-in the times given on the site.

I've put 20,000 sitting on them and they show no signs of being sat on, they maintain a smooth fresh fit.
They make different types of material, and my choice are these

thanks guys i just recieved my swatches that i requested from them for the mesh and non waterproof neoprene. im pretty impressed but the only thin that upsets me is they dont have a rear seat cover too...... i love the look of these as opposed to the stock seats (i hate the tan, same as yours monk) but i would like the back seats to match.

also @Monk did it come with a center console cover like they advertise for everything?

Huum.... I thought they did make a rear cover, but I chose to only order the front, so I didn't know. I never have anyone in the back, so I didn't need them. I keep a few hats of choice and umbrella, spare jacket, etc., so the rear doesn't show up that much anyway.

I didn't order one, but if they're offering them now, I'll look into getting one.
