    Anyone with black wet okoles that wish they would have ordered a different color? Any fading or difficulty keeping them clean?

    I love mine, but they are plain. But th only reason i ordered them black was to keep them clean, as i get super dirty and dusty at work so this was the most important thing. As for fading, cant really say i have noticed anything. As for keeping them clean usually just a wipe with a moist clothe gets them clean to the naked eye (my wet muddy dog jumped all overr the seats one day, and the paw prints just wiped clean. If would have stained the carpet seat.

    I am not super happy with the colour, but i ordered them a certain purpose and not for looks, even though they do look better than stock, but not as good as some of the designs you can get.

    I love mine, 6 months now, still look new, surf all the time my dog rides in the back seats, I have a dog canopy to protect the okoles, I like the calmness of black.

    also, i have had them in for 2 years now, and i only give them a partial wipe down with a moist clothe. During the summers, i spend my days in dirt/mulch gardening, or some other kind of work (gardening half of the day, and another labour job at a farm) so i pretty much get covvered head to toe. The seat covers kept everything clean so far.

    Cool thanks guys, I'm waiting to order on the jan group buy. I'm thinking of getting black with gray tubing and trd logo on them. My dogs ride in the truck too. Not sure if the dog hair would really show up and be difficult to remove from them.

    These things are great. Even with the cost from the last group buy, still very happy with purchase. Lots of compliments. All black w/ charcoal lettering. Thought about the piping, but read several others say it pulls away after a period. Don't think they would have looked any better. Spilled a couple of drinks with very quick cleanup and no stains.

    Yeah they do look good.
    I went with the same thing in the tundra except with piping on the fronts.
    I would not do piping again for little pieces did pull out front getting in and out even using my step bars.
    On my tacoma, I had taupe centers & they did fade in UV light this weird greenish tint. This was even using the UV protectant. Of course this was after 5 yrs of use.
    The black never faded...

    Thanks for the input, I've decided against the piping, I think the seats will look better without, besides tearing off.
