Help me pick the color scheme on Clazzios

[xxaarraa]

OK, I want to get a set of Clazzio seat covers with seat heaters delivered for my 08 SR5 before the North East winter sets in. So, I am about to place an order soon on TRDSparks. Couple of questions I am hoping you guys can help me with:

• I want a two tone custom scheme. I thought I wanted red and gray (my interior is gray), but upon looking at pics online, red seems a bit much. What do you guys think?
• TRDSparks used to do a discount for T4R members. Anyone know if they are still doing that?
• Wiring the seat heaters - what's involved? Do they just plug-in to existing wiring somewhere or do I have to be prepared to splice into something?
• Anything else I should know or should lookout for?

Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate the thoughts.

I prefer the color combo in the 2nd pic, darker leather on the outside. The more compelling aspect of this it looks like the seat cover reduces the wing-effect on the seat-back. I'm thinking it just might make the seat more comfortable.

Thank you all for your opinions.

Earthrealm, can you share a photo of your interior? I am also leaning towards grey inner and black outer.

I went with Pecca leathers because I have a third row and I believe it was cheaper than the classicos. Its the same leather the dealership installs. The other added benefit was I added seat heaters to the front. Another concern I had was that if there was any odor in the fabric, I would just be covering it up. It was some work, but I'm extremely happy with the new leathers. I just wish the stitching was a lighter shade like in the classicos...

I prefer combinations of black and gray or two tone gray (like gray and charcoal or graphite).

If you want some color, I would do the stitching red or whatever color.

This is just my opinion and the patterns that I've "built" covers in when browsing to replace mine.

I hear ya Matt, I am thinking the same. I had this Audi-BMW red/capuccino color in mind, but does NOT seem to work with our runners:baby:

I ordered some sample swatches from Clazzio, and their Black/Gray combo just about exactly matches the Sport seats. When I order, I will be going that direction.

You can order swatches here.

I'm curious about the seat heaters as well. Have some ideas for how to mount the switches, but curious on how big of a job it'd be to wire up.

pls where did you buy the pecca leathers?..i hv 3rd row, and made the error of buying clazzios...the 2nd row seat covers dont fit cos of the 40/60 split being reversed on the 3rd row 4th gen, so am highly interested in the pecca leather if it has 3rd row option

Thanks for all your help, I am really happy with the way it turned out.
