I received the Car Seat Covers very fast and was pleased with that. They are a lot thicker than my previous ones.
They look good and are easy to install. One negative is that they have a very stron odor when taken out of package.
When I washed them the inside foamy area frayed a little but the seat covers are fine. All in all, I am pleased with the product.

I installed this seat cover as soon as it got here. This is in a Venza. Here's what I think:
PROS:
1)Velour feel as described, comfortable, construction seems fine for a 40-50$ full set car seat cover -seems like will hold up with use.
2)Front seats fit pretty well.
3)Enough hooks provided for leftovers in case any gets lost during installation
4)Separated top and bottom covers for the rear seats allows for seat belts to pop out, and access to the LATCH system for car seats (a big concern of mine).
5)Affordable price. Custom seat covers for both front and back for my car would cost me around $500.
6)Will probably protect my lighter color factory seats from major damages caused by carting around children.
7)The wheel cover did go on but requires a lot of effort in stretching. My father had to put it in for me.
CONS:
1) No instructions. I would recommend using the hooks provided onto the elastic bands and hook them onto something metal under the seats to keep it in place. Be careful with stretching the loops; I had no trouble with breakage if I stretched them slowly.
2) Odor that didn't go away with even washing in the machine. I think airing out might be better. As my husband put it "smells plasticy, like a used rental car."
3) Very difficult to install. Fit was ok, but backseat still bunches a bit. I had a hard time finding areas to hook the pins onto something to secure the seat.
4) Front seat covers do not cover the entire back, but covers the pocket slots so they cannot be accessed easily. It would be nice to have pockets that come with these seat covers. That or some mud guards for the lowest foot kicking area on the back of the front seats.
5) Front seats do cover the areas you use to adjust the recline on the seat. Makes it a little difficult to maneuver, but that's minor.
6) Rear seat covers might do better with holes on the top to allow for headrests. It currently just bunches up. I'm probably going to go alter them right now.
7) There really is NO true "foam backing," in my opinion. Don't use these seats if you're looking for something for extra padding.
My Summary for this price, which is great for what you get, I can live with the cons. Give yourself a couple hours to install, and maybe a couple days to air out the chemical smell. Find alternatives for back seat storage I'm using child kick mat protectors to get a fuller coverage of those back seats with some mesh pockets. All this, and still much more economic than getting $500 custom seat covers.
Edit: 12/19/12 The odor, after 1-2 months have gone away (yes, it took that long). I'm not sure if it's because I put some Arm & Hammer nursery air fresheners in my car that absorbed the odor. The seats are holding up well. I'm not having trouble with stitching coming apart as some other reviewers, and still feels soft. So far it has resisted staining from half eaten, wet blue gummies.
Hope that helps!

Honest reviews on New 11 pieces Premium Grade Universal Size Velour Car Seat Covers
Very nice set. Looks great, feels comfortable. There are very minimal instructions included, however, and on the back seat covers, there were no holes in which to reinsert the head rests (instructions would have ensured I didn't put them on wrong). Overall great value.

When I read others revviews about time consuming, I didn't think I would experience the same thing because I use to own a different car seat covers. However, I did experience alot of challenges because it didnt fit my Altima. The head piece was too small for my car, and the back seat just looked too ugly. Also, the front seat covers seems a bit small. It was hard to put on and until now its doesn't look that good. But the material of the seat cover is great, and maybe if you had a smaller car, and your head piece can come off, then this product should go great with your car.
