The OEM seat on my new FJ had a couple of cuts and a hole in the foam when I purchased it. I had purchased a pre-made cover about 5 years ago. Delivery was an issue and I had to call in a few favors to get it delivered from Poland. In the years since, the seller has opened up shipping directly to the USA.

I was extremely happy with the first one, I ordered and received a second one. The vinyl is thick and high quality. The main stitching, piping and logo can be ordered in about 10 different colors. I chose all black for the stealth look and to be compatible with any color scheme.

Wow, Fred, that seat looks amazing!  That looks to be an upgrade for my '86.  Thanks for posting the link.

Very good Fred! A great looking low cost alternative.

After looking at my own sad seat, and checking out your one, I contacted him and was able to get cheaper economy postage to AU's.  Cannot wait to get it.
Thanks heaps for posting the link.

Cheers, Gareth
