DESCRIPTION
These seat covers are very well made, even a dealership employee said so. The material feels strong and durable, the stitching also appears durable.
The middle colored sections are two layers of fabric with varying sized-stitching, designed to allow the seats to "breath" and also whisk away moisture from the people sitting on them.
They're "not too slick" but not too difficult to scoot across either.
The front covers are designed to work on newer vehicles with airbags that deploy from inside the seat, a lightly stitched opening designed to break apart when those airbags deploy.
The rear seat cover has 3 zippers in the middle area, all 3 can be completely separated on both the back and seat sections of the cover. One is right down the middle, the other 2 are equal distances from the center, and pretty dang close to where our Corolla's 60/40 split is.
These will only work with car seats that have removable head rests for both the front and back seats (5 headrest covers included). I was able to install mine to look decent by messing with each one for a little while, my covers were installed in a 2010 Toyota Corolla SE.
For seat cover installations, you will have to remove the headrests FIRST, and you will likely have to make 4 or 6 cuts through the rear seat covers to allow the headrest posts to poke through. Rear seat belt buckles may require a cut to fit correctly as well. Just try to make these cuts no bigger than needed to push the posts and/or buckles through.
In the '10 Corolla, with 8 snips (6 headrest posts, 2 belt buckles), it fits nicely, though the darker gray isn't the best match for the light-gray interior. Our rear window seat headrests don't line up with the colored part of the covers, but take the time to get it centered and getting creative with securing the rear upper seat cover, it still looks great when it's done.
So I'm really satisfied with my purchase, these covers exceeded my expectations!
INSTALLATION TIPS:
* When installing the front seat covers, make sure the tags and modifications for the seat air bags are installed on the side of the seat your manufacturer says that airbag would deploy on your vehicle.
* Front seat covers may need a little "tucking" under plastic parts at the seats base to fit and look the best. Also, for the top of the front seat covers, there's a velcro opening that can be adjusted around the headrest posts.
* Back seat is 2 pieces, the upper only has the mesh fabric on the sides, make sure goes down. The lower part has the mesh fabric on 3 sides, the side without the mesh get's tucked into the corner with the bottom of the upper seat cover.
* On the '10 Corolla, I found that the middle of the bottom of the headrests weren't exactly sewn shut, appears intentional, and is the perfect location to tuck the excess fabric of the headrest cover up into, further improving it's fit.
* There are a bunch of hooks in a baggie inside the packaging to use with the elastic loops on the seat covers, I can't really help here, and prepare yourself for some twisting and turning throughout installation for best fit, and again, it's still worth it.
CONS
* My main complaint is having to cut into the fabric, I hesitated before making the first cut. Take your time, get the alignment *perfect* before making that first cut. The fabric doesn't seem to unravel too much, and the headrests themselves hide the new slits, so I feel confident that there won't be tearing over time because of it.
* Other than that, the only other negative is how much time it takes to get these seat covers installed perfectly, and I strongly recommend you taking your time. Make sure the seats are clean like you're removing crime scene evidence clean prior to installing the seat covers to make sure your seats won't get damaged because of trapped dirt and debris, and get the longest life out of the covers.
CONCLUSION
If you're looking for a high quality, full-set seat covers set that doesn't cost 3 digits like the custom-fit covers do, this set might just be for you. I am highly satisfied and will definitely consider this item/brand in the future. Hope you're reading this during a sale. :)

This seat cover is very versatile. I had a hard time finding a complete set that had the front covers airbag ready, without spending a fortune. It fit my 2010 Chevy Silverado Crew very well, I was a little unsure at first. It even comes with zipper pieces to split the rear seat so you can still flip up one side or the other. For what you get, and the ease of installation, its a steal!! I used zip ties to secure the bottom rear seat cover elastic straps to each other. Without removing the top back rear seat, I couldn't secure the top rear seat cover. I just tucked it around, works fine. The only problem I had was my front seat headrests can't be removed. So I had to cut/tear a little material to get the front seat covers over both. Not a real big issue. Not very noticeable. Sure beats paying $250 for the front, and another $250 for the rear... So the're not waterproof, better than nothing.Best Deals for FH-FB060115 Trendy Elegance Car Seat Covers, Airbag compatible
I ordered these with very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I have just installed them it took me a little over an hour and a lot of patience, but it was not too difficult. I was really pleased with the quality of the seats. I thought the color was true to the picture. I expected a lot of bagginess, but the fit is surprisingly good for a universal seat cover. I appreciate the comments and tips from the reviewers before me. They were helpful in choosing this product and in installing it. I can't tell yet how the covers will hold up with use. I slid in and out of the seats a few times and the covers stayed in place and had a good feel to them. I will update this review in a month or so once my daughter and I have given the seats a beating. I would have given the covers 5 stars, but I want to see how they hold up first. Overall, much higher quality than I expected for 39.99. Shipping was quick, installation was reasonable, and the look is great.Update after three weeks of use: Still looking brand new. They are comfortable to sit on and I'm amazed at how well they have stayed in place. I see no signs of wear and tear on them at all. I'm still very pleased!
Honest reviews on FH-FB060115 Trendy Elegance Car Seat Covers, Airbag compatible
I have a Silver 2006 Corolla LE and I bought it used. The car had really bad seats. I wanted a cheap alternative since I wont be keeping my car for more than 1.5 years.I bought this gray and black combination covers from FH and when the package arrived I was amused to see the brochure, there are lot of other color combinations too. I would have preferred a full black, however there are different ratings for differnt colors which I couldnt understand. So to be on safer side I ordered the gray and black covers. When my package arrived I was pleased.
These are very good covers for the price and they do create a lot of difference. You should have good amount of patience to install these. A good 2 hour's job do it when you are in good mood, nice weather and cool mind :))))
If you are not in hurry do it in parts
1. Open the contents and have a good look
2. Start with the front seats
3. Then remove the back seat (the one you sit on), take your time and finish that first.
4. Install back seat
5. Start with your rear seat back rest (40 / 60). I would installed it as whole since I dont use the 60 / 40 less headache.
6. Keep a scissor handy and dont worry. Just ensure you dont cut the thin mesh on rear side of front seats (that is pretty thin)
7. Do the headrests separately and install them
There is youtube video on how to instal pls check that if you are not sure.
The only problem i felt was
1. The material on rear side of front seat covers was too thin which i didnt quite like, i would have preferred the thin foam (which is there on the front side. I guess the seller kept it for fitting purpose since it stretchs.
2. The number of pins are less. They should have been at least 20 more. Saves a trip to wal-mart and hunting :)
3. The headrest covers are bit loose but you can always tuck that in when you lower / tighten the headrest to lowest level :)
But these are just small cons overall a very worthy buy especially if you want something cheap. Thats the reason for 4 stars and not 5
Pretty much pleased with the product (will try to post pic)
