just put them on, they are sweet! i have been trying to get the interior of the car a bit lighter. its all black, and i live in south Texas. so this will hell some as well, and they look great!

still have some minor tucking here and here , ill do that once they settle a bit.

How much did yours end up costing? And are you overall satisfied? Because i want some seat covers bad. The ones i got don't fit well at all. I want some that are made for an xD.

$420.30 including shipping for these, but they have cloth ones for 100 less. i just put them on so i havent even drove with them on yet, but so far im very happy. they fite perfect, very very high quality. i do like the bonus pockets on the back of the seat! i didnt know they were going to have those!

holy damn.. that's terrible. Maybe if you grab a heatgun and heat up that rubber it will shrink over the seats more and look decent...

I am not a fan of them, but I'm glad you like it!

holy cow, those are awful. I bought the scion shoppe covers for like 250 a while back and they fit ALOT tighter than this and it still doesnt look to good....you could have gotten a real leather swap for not much more..

look at the sides of the seats, that would drive me insane!

wow i have no idea what you all are talking about. they fit well. like i said there are a few places i need to go back and tuck a bit better, i was burning up putting them on in the sun.

im really shocked at your reactions here. could you post photos of what you think are good ones?

For the high price you paid, you could get something like this:

Wow... please take new pictures for us after you are done installing the seat covers. As xDrug said, for the same price you could've gotten Clazzio seat covers that fit like a glove. I really can't wait till they start taking orders.

Covers aren't bad. Being in TX, some good heat cool cycles will have them fitting nice.

i went out and looked again, i guess i see what you guys are talking about, but its just the way i put them in. guess im not as picky as you guys are, but now that i see, i will be spending a bit more time on them.

honestly these are the best quality covers that i have ever seen in person, they feel and look like nice leather, i am still trilled with them so i guess thats really all that matters.

Yes they might be good quality, but you paid ~$400 for seat covers. If I paid that much they better fit my seats like a f'ing glove or its not worth it.

For $400 they should look like they came in the car from the factory. IMO. they should be replacements for the cloth covers that came on the seats.

Those are pretty saggy...should have went with the clazzio ones.

For $400 its not too bad. I like how they lighten up the interior.

Like some others said, i'd take a heat gun and try and heat them up a bit and stretch them into place. There are wrinkles, but thats to be expected.

In my xB, i have Katzkin Leather, and that even has wrinkles (albeit very few)

Those are good ones. Same price.

IMO, Jon, i dont think the second picture you posted fits well.

What? Those things couldn't possibly be any more snug.

I see no imperfections with these covers, and I'm sure the xD ones will be perfect when they come out.

exactly, that doesnt mean they fit right. They look "over stuffed," like the original seat covers should have been removed before those were installed.

They're not stiff, if that's what you're trying to get at. They do look very tight, but they break in and settle very nicely. I just think the OP got ripped off, those covers look like universal autozone covers...
