Understood...Previous Clazzio purchase I believe they include a side plastic support to solve the sagging bolster problem.
The red seats sweet in the black interior...really gives off a nice contrast.

 

Yeah the side bolster inserts are no more, sadly.

The red is far more vibrant than I was expected. It looks really nice! One of the better upgrades I've done to the car so far.

 

I keep looking at your seat cover...love the color but that crappy installation I want to hang myself..and it's not even mine...hahahaha

if you ever want to redo it, here is a trick. The seats are not interchangeable but the seat bottom is the same...So when you take them apart, swap the passenger side to the driver side. Passenger side is usually always better ones so you basically get a brand new seat. Also when you swap, the bad bolster is now will be in the inside rather than the outside making it "less" obvious …. or nice looking from the outside...and while you're at it, burst some fingers and make the cover fits right!!! lol... Actually when the seat is apart, it's super easy to slip on and tighten up.

 

The seat bottom interchangeability information is valuable. Thanks for posting it. A semi-quick fix even if not covering the seats.

I'll let you guys nitpick wrinkles, installation looks fine to me with a little character. I'm on the fence regarding all-Red as it's a near violent change from Boring Black (tm).

I have seen information indicating this is not necessarily true. As I understand, there is a metal plate in the left thigh bolster of the drivers seat. When I took mine apart to try to repair it, I noticed this piece. Be careful, it can be sharp - which is how/why it erodes the foam material and fails. Anyway, just swapping the seat bottoms removes that extra outer bolster support. From what I have read, the inside bolster (right leg in drivers seat) does not have the metal plate. I never had to repair that side, so I cannot confirm if a plate is present.

What does all of this mean? It may mean nothing. Perhaps there are metal plates on both sides and it doesn't matter. Or, there is no plate on the one side and swapping it to the outside may (or may not) increase/accelerate wear on that side.

Just something to be aware of.

 

I already said I'm not redoing, yeah. It's not a picture perfect installation, that's why I haven't opened up a shop. The main wrinkles are on the passenger seat, which is of no consequence to me. (Not sure why it is to you as well) Lastly, I am not sure which part of "the velcros are flush and there's no more "pull" to be had" do you not understand.

Have you hung yourself yet? If not, I recommend you look at my post a few more times then. Lastly, so much for posting to help someone in the first place. Next time, can the forum remind me to not post and help out?

 

Thanks @Chuck S . I never set out for a perfect installation with 20 year seats. The only reason why I got these was because I lucked out and got ahold of a newer driver side seat, and so I wanted to protect THAT newer driver side seat.

The Clazzio Red is REALLY red. It's not a deep red like a Honda Type R-like badge, but vibrant red.

 

dude..sorry bro. Didn't mean to offend you.. Just my OCD got the best of me.

 

Okay...finally got it done after swapping out the new primary oxygen sensor...
Took me about 1.5 hr. Very straight up job...also swapped the passenger bottom to the driver side. The new Clazzio does come with the plastic support..

 

Those do look nice in a black interior.

For those of you wanting to cover your existing RED seats, be aware that the red in the Clazzio seat is not the same and will not match your door card leather. The Clazzios are a lighter and brighter shade of red. This may not bother you but just fyi.
They are more comfortable and "grippier" than the stock leather seats. Kind of a nice feature.
