RedGiant217,
If you like it then who cares what direction other people goes it think (still trying descrambler that).

if anything itā€™s the right seat in a dark direction, literally.

Are you being overprotective but can only commit halfway?

Maybe you like the Euro Sport version that comes w/3 piece vest?

Last possibility is youā€™re colorblind and this is the part we tell you good job installing the new matching OEM seat cover?

Realistically, not a bad idea if player 2 gets in dirty, sweaty, etc.

Suspense is killing me, are adding a drivers seat cover in black too? I guess if youā€™re aStar Wars fanatic you could get a white drivers cover.

Whatever the reason, what works for you is fine with me. Not my car show, not my grease monkeys.

Speaking of monkey, the original TRUNK MONKEY button w/label I canā€™t find anywhere. Amazon has a switch cover label but thatā€™s about it besides basic decals or patches.

TM medley:

Cracking up over here. :D

My wife just didn't find the OEM seat comfortable so giving this a try.

I do think it would be nice to get a Sport Line seat cover for driver seat whenever those are available. I like the red, but that black with red stitching looks amazing.

You made the pragmatic decision.

Some (most) might say this is a step in the wrong direction.

Whatever makes her happy. Mine complains about difficulty of getting in and out of the seat. Too low? So I put a seat cushion on the passenger seat. Your solution is superior but I want to keep the car stock.

My girlfriend has the same complaints, so I'm curious about your solution. What type of cushion did you use?

From Costco. Not perfect fitment due to aggressive bolsters on the seat. Still better than nothing (on the passenger seat only):

I got my titanium lug nuts today and I mounted and balanced the tires.

Nice! They look big, maybe due to color?

Have a gander at my red Monster Nuts!

Big thanks to grimace for getting these pads (W4s) to me so quickly. Transaction went smooth as eggs. The install was just as easy.

Heh, my wife says she hates the Type R because itā€™s also hard for her to get in and out of the front passenger seat..

My response is telling her she can always ride in the back, as those are normal seats...

She hasnā€™t taken me up on it yet,

Weā€™ve been together for 24 years, so can get away with saying stuff like that... otherwise donā€™t recommend this solution for first dates and such, haha
