It is my understanding that starting in '06, the leather option on the Prius will be installed in the factory. Is this true?
Also, what is the difference between leather seats and leather trim? Apparently the leather option in '06 is trim?
Lastly, will the leather be a better quality if it is installed in the factory?
Thanks for the feedback.

As far as quality is concerned .........that is up to who ever does your aftermarket Leather now. The Guy we use, uses the exact same leather. He's been doing this for 27 years and you can't tell the difference between his and the Factory installed.
Thanks for the good Question.........
