Default My Clazzio install (black leather with SD interior)

I bought my '02 Sport Design with it's front seats in extremely bad condition with box tape holding the tears together (courtesy of previous owner). I ordered the straight black seat covers offered on Ebay because I couldn't wait the 14 weeks it takes to get a customized set made.
They just came in yesterday and so far I've only done the front 2 seats. Will update the thread when I have it all completed.
Installation so far has been pretty easy! Whoever came up with this idea to replace traditional upholstery work is a genius!
Oh and beware, the "after" pictures will look really different because I will also be adding black Sport design mats.

That looks good so far. I have the black leather inserts for sale to complete your two toned look.

I understand that you picked black because of the exterior color. But I'm not liking the contrast of the black in the exterior, even with the blackwood trim.
At the end of the day it's ur car and you do what makes you happy and what you think is right.
Good choice on the Clazzio though, I have Clazzios myself.

Who was the seller and did they have a tan that matched the original color? First time I've seen them and they really update the look on the inside. Fitment looks good as well.

I believe it was clazziousa on Ebay...


I finally finished and will admit I just wanted to get done with the backseats because they were becoming a pita towards the end.

Final pictures with SD mats installed as well.

Looks outstanding!!! I'd pull the trigger on a set if they made it in saddle color.

So it comes with the center armrest cover or did you buy that separate? Also can you just get the front seats or you have to get the entire set?

Found them on Ebay and it says they can do any custom work as far as colors/design, so I don't see why they couldn't do saddle. If my interior was black I would seriously look into a custom saddle set myself. Finished product looks great! Can the backseat be pulled tighter around the bottom? Besides that you can't even tell there covers!
