Totally custom FJ Cruiser!

Toyota's hot new SUV, the FJ Cruiser, has been a regular in our shop it seems. We've done 3 this week!

One customer wanted to take his FJ to the max and cover everything, i mean everything, in sheepskin. The rear view mirror, the stick shift, the steering wheel, the the gauges in the dash, the armrest on the door.... nothing was off limits. Here's the photos (click to enlarge):

So while I was out we had 2 customers that wanted custom logos embroidered into the seat covers. We've done logos in the past and know how to do them well.

An internet customer wanted BMW logos in some headrest covers he ordered and a walk-in customer with a Bentley Arnage wanted sheepskin floormats with the Bentley logo on the passenger side.

logos add the nice finishing touch, just check out the photos (click photos to enlarge):

Seat Type 1 Installation Photos!

We had a Mercedes E320 in here last week that we took photos of during the installation (if you've not seen the general installation instructions already, they can be found here). This Mercedes seat is a pretty typical seat so it's a great example and a great opportunity for us to expand on our general installation instructions. We'll show more challenging installs as they come up here on the blog.

So moving on to the details, I found the headrest on this one to be a bit of a challenge to get off. Had to use a straightened out paperclip to press the release button and get that thing off :

The next steps, getting the top over the back rest and pushing the hooks through the crack in the seat, were a breeze.

Finding a good place to attach the hooks can be a challenge too (the Lincoln Navigator we had in about a month ago seemed easy enough, as it is high up off the ground, but no!). Here's what it looks like from the back seat. Just pull them from the front underneath the seat and find a good spot:

After the bottom hooks are in place, then the side hooks are connected:

Once the hooks were in place, the bottom part can be put into place easily:

Using an installation rod, the last hook is threaded through and pulled out to the back and connected to its mate from the other side.

The material on the sides is tucked into the plastic molding:

And finally the last step, making the holes for the headrest to be reinserted. now that everything is in place, I poked my hand underneath the cover to located the opening to insert the headrest. we recommend making a 'V' shape with your fingers under the seat cover and then using a sharp object like a razor with the other hand to poke a small hole in the cover. A small amount of wool will shed where it is cut. Of course this was repeated for both headrest holes. The sheepskin is then tucked underneath the plastic molding.

Wa-La! the headrest is replaced and I was done. Total time was about 15 minutes.

Hope that helps out! Next entry will be how I put on the headrest cover. Fun with VELCRO!!

Howdy all!

In response to customer requests, we started production on an installation video today. I'm sure it will take a few months before its ready. We'll upload it on the site for download.

Exciting things are going on!!

We've added a new capability to the site today. Now customers can order their tailormade series seat covers for select makes with sculpturing. That's when we shear the wool of the seat cover following the seams of the seat. Classy. This is a Mercedes C240.

So we had a customer in our store last week that wanted to take 'custom' to a new level. He wanted a patchwork design made of every color in the house! the result are some fine looking covers. By the way this is on a Mercedes 300E.

Ok, so let me just give a quick rundown about us: We've been in business making seat covers since 1978 and selling online since 1994. Our Tailormade sheepskin seat covers are manufactured right here at our factory in San Diego, CA. We use only 100% genuine sheepskins from Australia and New Zealand to make our covers.

There's 2 categories of seat covers, Tailormades (custom made) and Ready made (pre made). The Tailormades can be made for any vehicle, come in a ton of colors (ok, 15 to be exact) and can be made for cars with side airbags. There's 4 types of Tailormade covers: Original, Mosaic, Supervest and Insert.

The Ready Made series are great value for the money, even if they fit isn't quite as perfect as a Tailormade cover. There's 3 types of Ready Made covers: Semi Custom, Universal, and Universal Mosaic.

Welcome to the Superlamb's Sheepskin Seat Cover blog!

Since we've had so many inquiries about our products and who we are, we've decided to set up a blog to educate our customers, answer posts to installation questions (lots of photos will be added!), post photos of some of the custom work we've done at our shop, etc. We'll see how it grows and evolves over time.

Thanks!
