THE Wet Okole Group Buy!

Good copy on all...Thanks brotha!!

Edit: That was a bitch-I used some spoons cause they have a rounded end and I'm a pussy when it comes to knives and 250 dollar seat covers. But it worked out. Gotta get the motivation to go re-install the rear wall to the truck.

 

sweet!! did you get red AND blue? cant wait to see the blue

 

The red went into the truck (With red piped rear covers).

The blue will go in my Scion- Maybe one night later this week. I can't wait to see those too-The interior is mostly black and glass/plastic...so it should be AWESOME.

Might have to do the blue LEDs mod thru the whole cabin...


Anybody think that painting the center console black would look good??

 

well i got my covers and promptly installed them. took a little less than an hour, i've never done these before - they are not too difficult. i do have one question tho, when i pulled the seat back cover on and tucked it in at the bottom of the seat, the back had a spot to velcro (on the back of the seat essentially, where the "hog ties" attach to on the OEM seat) but the front side that pulled thru the back had nothing to velcro to. that same piece that the back velcro'd to is blocking the front velcro from reaching around to the back. any ideas? the seats *seem* ok as they are, but they puff up a little and i want them as tight as possible.

so far the seats aren't bad. i hope i won't sweat in them too much, i was hoping these would be better in that respect than the stock seats... but i'm not so sure now...

i definitely recommend pulling the seats. i didn't even have to unclip the cord, just unbolted the seats, leaned 'em over and buckled 'em in. i have no clue how you could possibly do this without pulling the seats. it would make it 100x more difficult. just 4 bolts, pickup seat and lean over. easy peasy.

i'll try to find mah camera, otherwise i'll have to take pics with my crappy 3.2mp cell camera. i'll also try to get a pic of the section i'm talking about that has nowhere to velcro to. i was dumbfounded, couldn't figure out how to pull that front section to the back at all... any advice would be appreciated here.

i'm not sure if i'm a fan of the center console cover. maybe i put it on incorrectly, but it made the console difficult to open/close. the straps were pressing against the two arms on the side facing the passenger side, making it not open nearly as easy as before. plus, it was also difficult to close as the cover was pressing on the button and the whole bottom was a little thicker so that made it even more difficult to close/latch. it looks good, but if it makes it difficult to open/close the console i may just chuck it. bah, oh well.

 

The front seats are a little weird in that you have to actually not use the factory "flap" that is attatched underneath. It is best to un-hook the factory flap and fold it up against the back of the seat. Just cover it up with the Okole cover and it should be fine.

 

Thanks a lot lifesaflaw for this group buy .. i love the seat covers..quality A+

just got home from work and these were waiting for me, opened them up and they are fantastic. By far the best looking seat covers I have ever come across. I'm just sad that I will have to wait until thursday to put these babies on.

 

well i'll have to redo the seats then. not a big deal, i used both the OEM hog ties and the WO ties. seats work pretty well for not being installed correctly! they look a little puffy but are damned comfy. i think i even got the center console to work a little better. it's function is still impeded, but it's significantly better.

fyi, i'm not sure what i did exactly but i strapped the wrong thing underneath the passenger seat evidently because the truck thinks there's someone sitting in there constantly! i didn't unplug anything, so i'm not sure what i did wrong. one of the straps has to be putting pressure on the sensor. i'll take a look this afternoon and take crappy cell cam pics for y'all!

 

Got the covers today, they look great.
Thank you!!!!

 

I took the "coin catcher" (that carpet covered part) and folded it over on itself and then attached the velcro strip. It was a little tough pulling it together but I couldn't see how bending the whole thing up would look any good. I bent it up the way they said and it looked like it would show an ugly bulge on the back of the seat. Thats why I decided to fold it together.



As you can see, on the back of my seats, the fold over is not noticeable.
Of course I didn't try it thier way, so maybe it doesn't make a bulge either.
At any rate the back sides of my seats came out real nice.



The fold over is right there where the velcro attaches at the bottom of the seat.

 

Yea, i just folded them up, you can kinda tell in the pics above but it did look horrible folded up. I was wondering how that was supposed to work until I found that link to TN's tips. Not impressed.

 

your look really loose by the side airbag area, mine are tight, are you sure they are in all the way.

 

Yea, i played with it for almost an hour until I gave up and called them. No matter how much tighter I tried to get it, it would just open that gap up wider no matter what I did. The bottom cover is extremely loose as well, it just hides it well. It's like they were fitted for a seat that's a little larger than this (though that makes no sense).

 

it makes sense, maybe they made yours on friday afternoon about 5 minutes before they went home.

 

Got them last night and installed today. I dont know how you would do the fronts without taking the seats out. It took me about an hour total to do the fronts, but that includes bolting and unbolting. I would say half an hour for the backs.

 

man, I just got a shipping conformation today, I hope they got the order right cuz this shits takin forever!....but I'm pretty patient so its cool...and I did get the logo, half piping, and back pockets.

 

Look what I got in today!


No Piping, With stitching, Black with charcoal.

 

luk you suck man.....looks really good though dude!
