    Grey tones and black are the two obvious colors that would compliment MGM. I think @sonicstng's seats look fantastic and @DefconBrix's seats look amazing as well. While both have different options, they serve as fine examples of what would look outstanding on a MGM truck.

    The nice thing about MGM is that it's grey, and a lot of colors compliment grey. Even the premium 1794 replica seat covers look beautiful on a MGM truck. A guy at work has a MGM 1794 Edition Tundra, and it's sharp. Although one might imagine the two colors would clash negatively, I think that the contrast of the grey and chocolate in fact beautifully accentuates both colors and isn't the same old monotone scheme.

    Just my thoughts.

    Any idea if the seat heaters would work with the OEM cloth seats that come in the Tacoma? I'm not sure I want to upgrade to leather at this point but would love a set of seat heaters regardless.

    Keep in mind most of these install pics are taken right after the installation is complete some are taken days down the road when wrinkles have worked themselves out. These kits spend 10 days or so folded up in a box and some wrinkles are unavoidable for just this short time.

    Mine was taken immediately after the install (parking lot of the shop) and had been in the box almost 25 days. Just FYI.

    I imagine after a stretch of days with your butt in the seat it relaxes some and forms to the seat more?

    Hi everyone, I have a question regarding wiring in the degreeze heating/cooling into the truck. I was able to whip through the rear seat leather install last night after work in a few hours. And I believe that the front seats shouldn't be a problem either. I am also not concerned with how to install the actual heating/cooling units in the front seats. I am fairly mechanically inclined. Though honestly I have no real notion of how to wire the units into the truck. I can build almost anything, though electronics aren't my strong suit at all. Are people piggybacking off of one of the existing circuits/fuses? If so which one? Has anyone had any issues with this part of the install or have any suggestions? The rest of the install is really just being slow and methodical and it comes out great. The wiring on the other hand I would like some advice to get it exactly right the first time.

    Thanks in advance!

    Mine look just as good and I did the install myself. Need to get around to posting pictures.

    its all about lining up the cover perfectly before the hog clips are put in. I've also noticed it looks a lot more natural and you won't get the stretch wrinkles if you don't fully squeeze the hog clips.

    Has anyone had this problem?

    Looks like the put the seat together in the wrong direction?

    And the stitching is already coming undone
