I wouldn't consider anything else, these covers are awesome. all the wrinkles you can see can and will be massaged out. I just decided to start work on another project on my other car so I didnt finish the massaging on the seats.
how does the vinyl feel? is it pretty thick? soft? stretchy? perforated?

I'm sure Sol will post up with his thoughts, but here's a thread with some information as well:

The PVC is perforated. Hope that helps!

they are firm but just stretchy enough. they feel like nothing is there. definitely worth the money. bean garage is a great seller and i couldnt be happier with my purchase!!!!!!!!!!

they are somewhat thick. makes the seats much more comfortable. the back of the vinyl has a foam layer and it makes the seats have a good deal more cushion.

get these seats asap! not only do they look great and feel great, but they protect your OEM seats.

Great feedback Sol! More comfortable is definitely a great bonus!!

One thing that is frustrating about the OEM seats is, they are tough to keep clean. Lint seems to be attracted to them and cleaning them off is a chore.

Look what showed up tonight. I took pics with flash and no flash. The darker, no flash pics, are the color of the covers.


First impressions, holy cow they are incredibly nice and very well made! The stitching is awesome and they have a luxurious feel to them. They will really spruce up the interior.

Detailed instructions included, with tool to push covers under plastic areas. Shooting for an install this Sunday.

Bean Garage is AWESOME! Great service, fast shipping and excellent customer service. Spencer ROCKS!

Here are my Clazzio's installed!


First things, first. Spencer, at Bean Garage, is totally awesome! He's professional, courteous and replies to inquiries quickly. His service is outstanding and in my opinion, he's deserving of future patronage. Sometimes it's tough to find great businesses. Bean Garage is that business. I will recommend him religiously. If you need Clazzio's, see Spencer. Thanks again Spencer!


On to my thoughts!

I'm extremely pleased the way the Clazzio's turned out. I have no fingers left. I'm very sore. Definitely a good sore, but I'll be feeling it for a couple of days. Advil is my friend! Be ready to massage and pull the covers like crazy. It's very important that this is done. Not only for looks, but to get the covers in their position.

The Clazzio's are just so freaking sweet! My best mod so far and it's going to be hard to find a mod I'll like better than the Clazzio's. After I installed the front seat, I sat in it and was struck by how much more comfortable the seat is now. It's a substantial difference! There's a fair amount of padding in the covers. It's a very luxurious and supportive feel. Any pressure points I may have experienced in the past are gone! The covers repositioned me in the driver's seat in a good way. I feel more comfortable behind the wheel and my legs are in a better position. It's just soooo much better!

The Clazzio's totally changed the look of my Fit. When the wife saw the end result she said, those are nice leather seats! PVC of course, with a perforated center. Who would ever know!

If you're looking to transform your Fit's interior and have more comfortable seats, get the Clazzio's. It's a no brainer for sure!


A couple of things that may help future installs.

If you have a sport, take the armrest off and leave the stoppers on. Pull the cover over and get it completely positioned first. You'll see the stoppers on the cover. With an exacto knife, make an X-cut on both stoppers and push them through. Then find the hole for the armrest bolt and make an X-cut there. Put cover on armrest and install. Worked perfect. A HUGE thanks to Cocowheat for the armrest tip!

The rear latches can be loosened enough to put the covers under them for a cleaner look. You can try with the tool, but it's so tight it wouldn't look good. There's a screw under the latch. Unscrew and lift up. You can do this before or after the covers are on. A HUGE thanks to graykyle for the rear latch tip!


Pics below. Any creases in the pics will straighten out with time in the heat and with usage. Sitting in the front seat has already done this to some extent. Don't worry about this too much during install. Get them installed as good as you can. I would say the last pic is more representative of the color (black/black/black).

Hope this helps!

Are these photos of the ones with leather inserts or all pvc. Hard to tell the difference. They look great. Those ivory ones are sharp!

Thanks! Mine are all PVC. I believe Sol's are as well.

To be truthful, you really can't tell the difference. My wife said they looked like leather. I'm glad I chose the PVC.

Wondering...is it worth the extra $100 for the leather center?
Anyone have this option?

Pro's/Con's?
Would the PVC last longer? More/less durable? Stay cooler in the sun or get hotter? More/less fade prone? More/less comfortable?

It's been said many times in this thread that the leather option isn't worth it.

I DID read the thread and understand what you're saying.

What I'm wondering though, and should have been more clear, is if the extra $100 is worth the PRO'S of choosing leather....and what those PRO'S are.

If the extra cost wasn't a concern, why would someone choose the all-PVC option vs. the leather center option?
