Should I spend $400 on seat covers?

I have just fitted these covers to my 2016 Toyota Corolla and I have to say they look great. I would definitely buy them again if I had another car. Go to the end to find out why I have 5 stars. Below are my warnings to everyone. Also remember that these are universal cases, so one size fits all and some extra. You can't be perfect. 1) The headrest covers now look like garbage. I have to get creative and glue the sides a bit so they don't look like they have ears. Like a rabbit. Or just leave her. What am I considering? 2) I wish they had made the front seat covers a bit longer or the straps for the back (just under the built in pockets). This makes him look like a big guy in a small shirt with a slightly bulging belly. Just an inch or 2 would have made it a lot better. It doesn't bother me too much because I'm not in the back and I'll probably never see him again. 3) Took me 3-4 hours to install them. You can just put them on, but they won't look as clean. Also, I needed 3 tools to help with the installation. Bamboo spatula to stuff excess fabric into the plastic seat trim. Scissors to cut out sections for the headrest, and in the back I have 2 built in headrests that I had to cut (leave some excess material above the cut and fold under to make a nice seam). The third tool is probably Toyota specific, but you'll need a wrench or socket to unclip the rear seat. These all look gorgeous and since they are so versatile you need to get a little creative to get them looking just right. Want custom seat covers that will likely end up looking like mine? Get ready to pay $400 for the kit. It was just something I couldn't bring myself to do, so I settled on the next best option, which turned out to be a thesis.
