    I never saw anywhere on the website to declare of you had a sport model during the ordering process. They called to confirm the order and I made sure to tell them everything I thought could be pertinent, including that it was a sport model. Calling them today, stay tuned...

    I had a set on my 2007 Titan and they fit perfect, for the price they're wanting you would expect them to fit better. They were still on the truck when I traded for my 2014 Taco.

    In my original post, I said I don't want neoprene. Although I'm tempted to give them a go anyway. I was deciding between them and Marathons. Looks like I may have made the wrong decision.

    I'm gonna sub this.

    I want to see how they treat you on this. I have seen several sets of their covers and have been impressed with the fit. So much so that I almost ordered them a couple weeks ago but decided to wait a bit.

    I hope that it was just a miscommunication thing and they make it right for you. Good luck

    OK, here is the best kept secret around, I have ordered 6 different sets from these folks and I'm telling you, they can't be beat.

    "http://www.iggee.com/" They also sell on eBay. Unbelievable quality at an amazing price. Everyone that gets in my cars, even the dealer comments on my seats. You can thank me later.

    Pic of my old Gen 1 was used in their eBay ad. I used to live right behind their shop in California. They last FOREVER and I have people ask me if their leather all the time. Just ordered for my Gen 2.

    Good luck, I dealt with an incorrect shipment for my 4Runner, owner/manager was a pompous a-hole. Tried to explain to me it was my fault when I filled out their website exactly the way my truck was configured and they built me covers that would not work, wrong seat configure. I had to fight for them to return the wrong covers, had to threaten better business bureau complaint. Which they had a similar complaint that I saw after I had my ordeal.

    Stay away, far away from Marathon!

    Like maybe a garbage truck! Those are the worst seat covers I have ever seen.

    I called, they said it's normal and takes time for them to stretch and conform to the seats. I sent them pics and am waiting to hear back from them. I'll update as I know more.

    It looks like they need to shrink not stretch.
