Default Clazzio covers installed

First question answered: 8 weeks is how long it took from order to delivery.

I used the same color scheme as another member, dark gray/light gray with light gray stitching. In my flint colored interior, it's perfect.

I also installed heaters for the 2 front seats. Nothing fancy, and they're really easy to install.

Install time was 6 hours. I had 2 issues that probably account for almost 2 of those hours:

1) The back seat lower cushion just didn't seem to want to work for me. I ended up taking them out to put the covers on. I also didn't like how they sat around the release levers, so I fit them as I saw fit.

2) Rear outboard seat bolts. My 500ftlb torque wrench couldn't get the passenger side out, and the drivers side took some doing. Fishing wire on the passenger side was more difficult because I couldn't remove the seat.

The install is fairly simply, honestly. Without the heat, it's even easier. The headrests aren't fun, but not a huge deal -- you just have to work them.

It's a nice set, and as good as it gets for seat covers. I replaced the drivers side seat foam a few weeks ago in anticipation of the covers, so upholstery isn't new to me. I would say overall they're a little bit tougher to install than just redoing the permanent covers. Also, since they get fastened, you get a tighter fit. BUT... these are the nicest seat covers I've ever seen.

Looks really good, like they were meant to be. If I didn't know better I'd say they look like factory seats!

WOW! Dom, your truck just keeps getting better and better! I bet it feels like a whole new truck. Looking great as usual!

This was the final mod for a refresh of the old truck. Between the new seat foam and these covers, it does feel new (even smells almost new!). Its got a refreshed suspension and new tires as well, and rides like new again.

Only thing missing is a little more power, and I'll have everything I want from a new truck. The hunt starts for a Roush or Edelbrock takeoff. . .

Nice, clean, great pictures. Looks great! Good write-up. Nice upgrade from the cloth seats.
I like the Clazzio covers too been looking on truckleather.

Thanks very much.

One note after living with it for a couple of days -- the heat is really quick to come up to temp and very comfy. Glad I did it.

Got my set for my 05' but there weren't any accommodations for the integrated shoulder belt part. The cover Kings I previously had were zippered up the back so you could just wrap around the seat back and tuck under the plastic housing for the shoulder belt. I emailed Clazzio. They said to make an I shaped cut but that was all the instructions they gave (instructions in the box didn't say anything either) Did yours have a zipper or at least a hole? You'd need to take the belt assembly all apart to get it on too it looks. Still seems like they gave me the wrong ones.

I did no cutting, my covers were specifically for the integrated seatbelts. It was even in the instructions.
