They actually did your seats... Sydney City Toyota used them for their leather work back in 2005.

Speak to Brian.

Yeah Ben mentioned I missed you both... I was looking for his kids to find out where the good cupcakes and sugar based snacks were.

I would get the middle panel of the seats perforated, and also get them to add some extra padding on the thigh area and lumbar...

Better still get them to retrim a cheap second hand set of old recaros or something similar that you will pick up on eBay or the wreckers... much more comfortable seats that way.

Good luck with whatever you do.

Hey Matty,

Yeah the fete was awsome ! the Souvlaki was out of this world was the best ive tasted and im married to a Greek, The guys assessed the seats this arvo and has promised me comfort and durability :)

by the way they also do full integrated sunroofs too, damn cheap at 1900 with auto close when you lock the doors

Daz let us know how you go with the seats would be good to find out it they can make much differants in the comfort side of things.
Sunroof ha! Sounds like a good idea.
If they did the seats for Toyota whats the chance they did the sunroofs for them as well ? Or do they come from the factory ?

Rat,

The guys at Doyles told me they do both, as i said ive already got leather but its 4 yr old and im looking for an update, the Sunroof was an idea they threw at me, and im thinking i will get both done next week, they did say they could get it all done in a day, so will see how i go.

Sunroofs are done by them on Toyota's behalf, Sunroof would be awsome seeing Summers comin

They said they will redo the Foam and supports at the same time.

Must admit ive become a customed to leather its really nice and smells good too !

You got me seriously thinking about a sunroof now. Would be good for summer :D God this forum has cost me big time over the last couple of years :cry:.

Do you think flex when 4WDing could affect the sunroof ? Maybe one for you guys that have one fitted.

Daz photo's of course please seats & sunroof if you go ahead with it.

thx

Rat,

She's Booked in for next Friday mate, so when ive got it all done, i will surely take some pic's , if i didnt have kids, i think id remove the rear seat and put in the same as the front and have 2 buckets in the back, but alas, families first.

As for Flex all i can say is they do them for toyota as an OEM so, that must be a good thing surely. Anyway a Sunroof is always a good thing IMHO , lets out the heat , looks trick, driving at night with it open :) you know the Drill ! lol

Ive gone with the perforated in parts, in a lighter colour , its more of a graphite dark grey, the pelts and leather looks very very good, so hopefully all done, this week and i will take some pics,

I almost asked the the TRD logo to be embroided in but i figured that was silly !
