Default JDM Seat Covers - Clazzio, Artina, Aimgain, Etc.

Are any of these available for our cars? Seems like a much cheaper alternative to redoing the entire interior, as long as the leather is somewhat preforated. And you know these are gonna fit like OEM. Leaning more towards the Clazzio plush look, as opposed to diamond/double diamond stitch.

We have started the Clazzio USDM-spec project. However, our aim is currently toward restoration (GS 2nd Gen, SC 1st Gen).

We will be moving toward the GS3 eventually (likely around Spring 2011), but most of the seats I've seen are still in great shape so it's a hard justification.

Example photos are from a 2GS:

wow, that looks completely r'tarded. why in the ish would you put black seat covers on your cashmere interior? especially when you're not changing out the carpet and seat belts to match...along with the console. I hate that I wasn't able to get black interior in my car, but I'm not going to go full retard and attempt to re-create the look. to each their own.

That was the test fitment vehicle. The black was made to contrast the ivory interior so users can see what is included with the kit. It was not the ideal choice for the owner, but he didn't mind as his beige leather under there is completely torn up.

The quality looks very nice so does the fitment. How does it work with side airbags?

Independent testing was done with Camry seats and they pass with flying colors. I will upload the test videos later today, and a scan of the documentation on Monday.
