Thanks for the compliments!

Is the seat cover alot different that the factory color and fabric design? I have been looking for a cover replacement for mine but it seems like no one makes a cover that duplicate the factory. I do have an inquiry into SMS but have not heard anything back yet. Still looking for a good dash replacement. Seems like it is hard to match the color and also getting a decent quality replacement. Thanks.

The fabric design is identical, and the color is dependent on what color interior you have. To me the gray they have is lighter than the factory color, but most of the others are very close.

I agree that the replacement dashes are iffy at best.

Does the parking brake clear those kick panels?
