Looks White on Dark Grey in pics but its not. Its light grey on dark grey (Ultimate colours).
For those that follow...if you have midnight indigo paint the dark grey (Ultimate)colour is an EXACT match to the dark grey (Toyota)leather....I mean EXACT. The grain is different though its that close to the seats it will tie in just fine.
I will now do the sill/window surrounds to fix the dreaded crack zone next. As they are rare as hens teeth in my colour cause I can only get em from a Midnight Indigo LTD.Will post pics in due course.
All in all pretty happy. The quality of the covers is as everyone else has said, excellent. Taking the extra time to do the white strings is a must, as is taking the seats out+USE A CROCHET HOOK for the strings...its simple if you do. Center console & armrests I fixed on permanently with contact adhesive....I was never gonna take em off anyway. Brings me to two points I was unhappy with...read as well pissed off. 1)Armrests, the stitching on everything else was absolutely perfect, parralel/straight in a word, beautiful. The Armrests looked like they had been sewn by an apprentice. Not straight not parralel. In a quite a few words, let down, rough, dodgy, ugly....crap (compared to the rest of the work....hey I put em on, they're not so bad I'd send em back)
2)Rechecked my order...yep I ordered the perforated leather for center of the seat backs...it wasn't done. (Again, I went ahead & put em on anyway, not worth sending em back... but I really wanted the holes there cause I sweat...bad)
Was going to VHT the carpet, seeing how good the covers look & a few pics of Jan's in the "found a place that will do new carpet" thread...no question. Brand new carpet in dark Charcoal for sure.
Last of all, now I need the steering wheel done in genuine leather to match new colour scheme.
