    Clazzio's are a fantastic option for oem-looking seat covers. Contact @HAWAIIANBUILT to order your set. (y)

    That's interesting - the dash cover - I have had one on my cars for at least 30 yrs, but TOYOTA told me that one isn't available for Prius. I'd be interested in what it was you bought?

    With seat covers, I've had Sheep Skins for at least 25 years, found them to improve seat comfort and last for ever. The ones I've got on my Prius, I had on my previous 2 cars so far. They're warm in winter, cool in summer. (Make sure yours are compatible with the side air-bag which explodes from the side of the seat.)

    Do they shed or leave little light colored hairs on dark clothing? Or are yours broken in so much that thats not an issue? Comfort is the key here but I wear black for work and hate lint rolling every time i get out of the car.

    Hi - I've worn black trousers for years - never had a problem with them. Thinking back, my first ones were in 1975-76, and I've had them almost all the time since. Good quality ones these days, cheaper ones initially.

    Regarding the seat covers, I agree, so many styles and fabrics it's hard to choose. Clazzio and Autoanything have a wide selection. I've had the quilted Clazzio in my CR-Z and the quality/fitment is great. The only negative was the black vinyl got pretty warm in the summer down here. I got Velour fabric for the Prius and it's pretty comfy even in the heat. Good luck
