CAR SEAT COVERS	Sat, 27 December 2003 13:33

Hi Does anyone know where i can get some funky car seat covers? I have been looking in the auto shops and there isnt much choice and they mostly have a very boring range. Would be grateful if anyone could get back to me. [Report message to a moderator]

I had trouble finding plain black ones , too many fancy ones for my taste. Ended up getting some AXS ones , nice material tho. Places like autobarn , repco , supercheap auto , kmart all have lots of seat covers. [Updated on: Sat, 27 December 2003 14:14] [Report message to a moderator]

I too have the AXS seat covers... The material that they are made from is really good and comfortable... I got mine brand new but second hand , like a dude got them for a pressie, never used them and sold them to me for $30... I think they are like $80 for two front covers... They also make custom fit rear covers for a hefty $180... They always have stands at car shows like Autosalon and stuff... You can also go to http://www.axsexycovers.com/... Hope that will be help...

Drop it to within 10mm of the ground, 18" chrome rims, huge wing on the back that blocks your rearview mirror and a cannon of an exhaust tip. Oh, and some NOS stickers. [Report message to a moderator]

Not really... I basically suggested a nice set of rims, prolly 16's, drop it 2", 20% tints and maybe a kit, maybe even just front bar and skirts... Standard SX wing on the rear... That should look goodness... [Report message to a moderator]

Nice Rolla, looks mint , must have low K's. Anyway you would be better of lowering the car, then get rims, as rollaboy said. First lower it then get rimz you will like the look of it, then you will want a kit then Sound System etc etc then you will realise you have the Toymods bug and youve spent more money on the car than its worth.

Re: CAR SEAT COVERS	Tue, 30 December 2003 13:11

I think that the suspension/tyre combo should be done the other way. Find the rims you want then lower the car enough to make the height suit the rims. Don't know about you, smt 007, but some mags look good with wheel arch overlap while some don't. Chrommies, I think need overlap, but mags that look more racier on the other hand, need a small gap above the tyre (5-10mm thats all) to show that the wheels arn't just for show (even though they might be). Just my thoughts. PS Kirsty, how did you fare in the big storm a month back?? Believe it or not I was caught in that with a tent. Woke up with the tent around my ears because the wind snapped the supporting pole. Scary sh#t indeed! [Report message to a moderator]

Re: CAR SEAT COVERS	Tue, 30 December 2003 13:24

loL, You have to convince your parents that mods are of safety concern also , ie. say you need to lower the car because it keeps the car lower to the ground and stiffer in corners, which minimises risk due to the car sitting on the road firmly minimising body roll reducing the risk of a turn over. Also you need to get bigger Rimz because it aids in getting more grip on the road keeping you safer on the road, specially in wet conditions. Then say "do you care about my safety on the road" That should do it. StephenT [Updated on: Tue, 30 December 2003 22:59] [Report message to a moderator]

Can you define funky? Is that sporty or girly? Someone I worked with a couple of years back had a new Lancer with some nice Red and Black seat covers which suited the car very well. I was surprise to find out she bought it at Target. A few people just get the Snap On red cotton mechanics covers. I don't know if that is too Boy Racer for you. [Report message to a moderator]
