    Finally got my seat covers and mud flaps installed, so thought I would post a review and a couple pics for anyone considering Headwaters seat covers or Husky mud flaps.

    The Headwaters seat covers are in mossy oak breakup and are pretty much identical to Marathon with velcro straps for installation. Price is about the same, I think I paid around $450 for the front and back with headrests and console cover. Paul who owns Headwaters in Montana use to be a designer for Marathon and started his own company after attempting to buy Marathon. They have great customer service, and the owner of the company called me directly to answer some questions that I had before ordering. The covers have a very nice tight fit. There's currently one wrinkle in the passenger front side but I just need to tweak the straps to get that out and then they will be completely smooth. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. I couldn't be happier with the seat covers, they took 3 weeks to make and 1 week for delivery. Hand made in Montana using materials manufactured in the USA.

    The Husky mud flaps were also a perfect fit. I only ordered the front ones and they gave me the extra ground clearance I was looking for. With the stock mud flaps I only had about 4.5" of ground clearance [​IMG], but with the Husky flaps I almost doubled that to just under 9" of clearance. I think they're the perfect length for a compromise between clearance and protection. No more rubbing over speed bumps or large pot holes. I'm pretty happy with these as well. The holes lined up perfectly and it's hard to tell they're not stock. Installation was a breeze. I reused the three screws that were in the stock flaps, and put in two new body clips that I got off of Amazon. When you order Husky mud flaps for a Tacoma on Amazon, the Toyota body clips are at the bottom of the page under the people who bought this also bought that section.

    Can you post up a side picture with the new mud flaps?

    I'm interested because I've been wanting to take mine off but not loose the protection, I'm also not a fan of trimming them down (looks crappy in my opinion).

    Why didn't you install your console cover, or did you after the picture? I just ordered these last week. It is about 5 weeks total right now. Could you possibly post a couple more pictures? Looks great. Thank you. Waiting impatiently for mine to arrive. Paul called me back to double check the order. Wonderful to work with.

    Yeah their customer service is top notch. I was really impressed, hard to find that these days.

    I did receive the console cover. Not sure I want to use it since it only covers the top lid and not the entire console. I like the console look without it. Now that you mention it though; I'll put the console cover on sometime this week just to see what it looks like and post a couple more pics.

    Ok, I guess the console cover does look pretty good. I put it on and like it, so think I'll keep it. Added a couple more pics to my original post showing the console cover.

    Thanks for the pics. Looks good. I've still got two weeks before I get mine. Can't wait. It will tie into the camo strip on the outside. It's been a long two weeks. Going to be alot longer waiting for the next two. It'll be worth it.
