They run about $270.00 shipped. Feel free to ask any questions you want on this thread.

Also, you want to buy them from bean garage.

Here is a link to the Clazzio photo thread.

Here is a link to the Clazzio information thread.

Here is a picture of my seat covers, you can find more phoots in the thread I linked above

Thanks for the links, they look nice.

Do these seat covers go over the existing OEM covers or do you take them off first? Also, anyone do the door panels to match the covers? Would need a good/string glue. Looks like BG sells sheets for this purpose.

My guess is that it would be a pain to DIY some vinyl on the door panels, but people have replaced the cloth texture with some cloth of their own. With vinyl, I think I would leave it to the pros though just because I can imagine the glue letting go and material peeling off after a few months, maybe a year.

Overall install time was about 3 - 4 hours.

3-4 hours??? Dang. It took me like 1.5 hours for mine.

I was leaning toward the same grey insert black side Clazzios shown in this thread...but my wife said she thought they looked "too busy" for an already crowded passenger compartment, and though solid grey looked better. Rather that wait 15 WEEKS for grey Clazzios I ordered CoverKing leather covers on sale from Costco, with an estimated 15 DAYS. I just ordered front covers, they came to about the same price front only Clazzios would have been. I'll put up some pictures once they are in. My fingers are tightly crossed, due to the overwhelming Clazzio reviews throughout the Fit Forum posts. Paul H
