    **SOLD** My truck is going to be traded in, so I am selling my Clazzio seat covers. These are the standard leather version (which are actually half leather/half synthetic), with black/black/black color format, for a double cab Tacoma equipped with a power driver's seat. These have been installed in my truck for 11 months, and the truck is always garaged. They are in great condition, with a few blemishes noted below (and in the photos). I also purchased the Clazzio heated seats kit, and installed the heating pads inside the front seat covers. I purchased the kit with the very small rocker switches, and installed them to the left and right of Qi charging pad in the lower front center console. The nice part is, I will even include the center console piece with the switches already installed, to make this a very easy upgrade for you. The rear seatback covers also have slits in them, in order for the plastic pieces on the rear of the seats to be re-installed over them. The covers are actually designed to be pulled over the entire seat back (including the plastic backing), but many TW users remove the plastic, install the cover, and then reinstall the plastic, for a more factory look. Also included is the plastic installation tool, and the small metal hooks that attach the front lower covers to the bottom of the seats. I also drew a "D" or a "P" on the little tag inside each panel with a sharpie, to help you quickly identify the driver and passenger sides (this is really only a challenge with the fronts, but I labeled them all).

    I went over every square inch of these and can only find the following issues: there is a small red mark on the underside of the rear driver side bottom cover (this is paint transfer from a soft shackle that I had stored under the seat, and is not visible at all unless the seat bottom is flipped up), there are 3 small holes in the rear of the front driver's side upper cover, on the back of the cover below the "pocket" opening (I am pretty sure these are from my kid's shoes rubbing against the seat. They only penetrate the synthetic material, and not all the way through the entire cover), there are some very light marks on the top surface of the rear center headrest (no damage to the material - just very light scuffs in the color), and finally, there are a few spots where a tiny piece of dirt or debris has become lodged inside one of the small breather holes in the leather material (these can easily be removed with a toothpick, tape, or small pick tool).

    As mentioned, these also include the Clazzio heated seat pads for the front seats - 4 pads total (one in the upper and lower cover of each side). I will also include the center console panel with the heated seat switches pre-installed. Note: the switches are supposed to illuminate red when the "high" setting is selected and green when the "low" setting is selected. However, sometimes they will illuminate red even when you select the "low" setting (especially when you switch from high to low). I have googled this and it is a common/widely reported occurrence with this style of switch. Although it is kind of annoying, it does not affect the functionality at all (they are still on the high or low setting that you have selected, regardless of the illumination color). The wiring harnesses/relays for each seat heater are included, too. I tapped into the cigarette lighter circuit behind the dash and ran the harnesses under the center console and down under the carpet to the seats. In my opinion, this is the cleanest and easiest way to install these, and the cigarette lighter circuit handles more than enough amps for the heaters. Of course, if you choose, you can also remove the heated seat pads and just install the covers.

    At this point, I prefer a local sale only (Southern California). It would require a very large box to ship the covers without folding/crushing them, and the center console piece would probably need to ship separately (also in a huge box). I would also like to simply swap headrests with you instead of removing the covers from my headrests (I need the dark gray headrests to match the 2-toned gray cloth seats - see the photos of my factory seats in my install link). This accomplishes a few things: 1) it prevents the covers from possibly becoming ripped or damaged while being removed (they are VERY TIGHT on the headrests). 2) It prevents my headrests from looking all squished or deformed after the covers are removed (as I mentioned... the covers are very tight on the cloth and they squeeze your factory foam to the point that it might look a little deformed once removed). And 3) It eliminates the hardest step of the install for you (did I mention that these are VERY TIGHT?!).

    See photos of my install here.

    **SOLD**

    Bump.

    Really hoping to find a local buyer that I can swap headrests with. It'll give it another day or two, before I attempt to remove the headrest covers and then open this up to shipping.

    Or, with the cost and hassle associated with shipping, maybe I'll just reinstall the covers before I trade in the truck. I'd prefer to see these end up with a loving new home :D

    I have the same setup on my Tacoma. Convenient location for the switches. It was suggested to use the sunroof fuse for the power source--just throwing that out.

    So I'm curious what these sold for and how you liked them. Been on the fence about buying PRP covers but they're pretty pricey. Right up there with Katskinz.

    Don't need the heated option but was wondering about quality as you listed a couple blemishes.

    I was very impressed with the quality and the fit. Zero complaints at all!

    The blemishes were all very minor, and they were because my truck absolutely gets used like a truck. The light marks on the top of the center rear headrest were from me hauling boards in the bed that stuck through the back window and sat on the seats. The 3 small holes in the rear of the driver seat are because I kept a metal flashlight in the pocket behind the seat, and my son rubbed his shoes against the cover/flashlight while we were driving. I have a small dog that rode on the back seats constantly, and there is not even a slight scuff on the surface of the seats where she would jump around and what not. I feel very confident that the blemishes on the covers would have been far worse on the factory seats if the covers weren't in place.
