    Now the problem I see to have is deciding on the center color. Can't decide between the charcoal and the light gray. Have you guys had any issues with fading?

    Haha that was my first reaction, so I called the wet Okole in kalihi and they said the price starts at $550, and it goes up in price for piping.

    I got it with piping, so it would have been like $630 instead. Lol and their customer service isn't bad, but they aren't exactly the nicest. In my opinion...

    I just got back from ordering the front and rear sets in grey/black with half piping. Less than $550 including tax, and they gonna install it free when it comes in. They said there is some kind of sale tho.
    Also, they have a huge sale on old stock. I saw some seat covers for 4 runners and Titans for $100 for a pair.

    I struggled with the same choices. I'm glad I went with the light gray. It goes well with the other light grays of the interior colors.

    I've had them for 2 years now. No fading at all. But we don't get big sun here.

    Mine are going on 8yrs old.......charcoal - no piping...........just washed them for the 2nd time few weeks back and they look fabulous, like new. The fading on mine occurs from dust making them grayish when they are in need of washing, otherwise nothing but stellar. My side windows are not tinted either.

    Holy thread revival but saw some familiar names :D
    My 8+ year Wet Okole's finally wore through just top layer material in a spot on driver's side. Luckily covers are black and the neoprene is black too lol.
    WO said they can just replace the panel but there's still a lot of layers left so think I'll leave it. I'm retired and cheap now. Seat looks brand new underneath that works for me.

    I haven't been that impressed with their durability, but they do add some comfort to the seats in my opinion. I have significant driver's side wear that Okole said was "normal" from getting in and out of the vehicle. I was disappointed because I'm not abusive to my stuff, and I thought they should've lasted longer then ~2 years before showing such wear. I would not spend the money on them again, Wet Okole. Not worth it.

    I have them on the front seat of my 4runner with a leather interior they will wear on the bolsters just like the seats do you overtime. In the summer they are very hot covering the leather but it's better than the leather burning my ass off

    Holy old thread, Batman!

    I've had them on my Taco for... 12+ years. They lived on my 4R for 2-3 before that. They're worn and ugly but they've protected my OEM seats from coffee, dogs, and God knows what else for over a decade. Probably the biggest single bang for the buck mod I've ever done on any car!

    Glad I went all black this time, the piping always wore out and I got a lot of fade in previous set even with treatment & no sun in Vermont.
    They've been super durable black on black plus hides the dirt
