Seat covers?
From what I've seen the Clazzio seat covers are good quality and fit really well. It also looks like Katzkins are better but at twice the cost. I'm looking for opinions about both as well as opinions on whether the Clazzio leather insert covers are worth the premium over PVC.
I was thinking about black surrounds with charcoal inserts and possibly red stitching to match my many TRD bolt-ons. My car's theme is clean, understated performance so I don't want anything (like suede) that looks VIP or showcar. Maybe I should stick with black or gray stitching? I'm open to suggestions on colors since interior design isn't really my thing. TIA.

^ Thanx. I know it's just personal preference but any opinions on black PVC with black leather inserts and red stitching? I'm a little worried that the red stitching may look out of place in the interior. Then again, it might look great. Also are the leather inserts worth the extra cost?

I just ordered Clazzio black leather covers with red stitching from Bean Garage. I think I'm going to add a black or charcoal Wheelskin cover with red lacing to go with the seat covers.
Any idea which color would match the steering wheel better; Black or charcoal?

^ I like the way you think. 
I just ordered a charcoal wheelskin cover with red lacing from wheelskins outlet for $39.50 shipped. I can't wait to smell all this new leather in my car!

Safe bet on a post ***** like me! I'll have pics up in a week or so. Shipping is going to take a few extra days because someones at SEMA. I forgot the details.
Thank you! If I didn't mind waiting 8-10 weeks I probably would have gone with black PCV, charcoal leather inserts and red or charcoal stitching but these were in-stock.

Thanx Sam! I'm very happy with them for the money. I don't know if I mentioned this but I bought them from Bean Garage and they gave me 10% off even though their sale had ended a few days earlier. IMO they're worth every penny.
BTW, the covers are actually black on black but depending on the lighting, the leather inserts look charcoal, which is exactly what I wanted! These pics were taken at night with a flash.
