Nice look car!

I noticed at the end of your video you said you have seat covers installed, NOT GOOD!!
Part of our SRS System is installed in our seats, with seat covers installed the side curtains can't/won't deploy.

And if you stick around here to long, I'm sure the Mod-Bug will kick-in

!
But you're right, you don't have to mod this car to have fun

!!

Here's my vid clip... the white truck near the end was going 80MPH.

I hate how we have SRS seats because i want to preserve my black and orange seats the best i can and i wanted to go seat covers. Owning a CRX the seats are torn at the bolster and after 20 years its getting worse. I don't want that to end up being the eclipse, or trying to find the rare orange and black seats 10-15 years later. maybe i should get an extra set of seats now before they are gone. i feel bad every time i get in to my car because i know my shirt/coat/jacket is rubbing against the bolster and abraising (is that a word?) it

good find john. its so sad because if you try to look for 20 year old good conditioned crx seats they are just as much if not more

like i said i better get em now before they discontinue them and price skyrockets

Good luck finding the orange and black terra cotta it took me over six months of looking and just happen to get lucky on ebay with takeoffs from a dealership.

09EclipseGT · February 21st, 2011, 05:58 PM

Not to worry

My seatcovers are made for seats with airbags in them. They will diploy.

HOMESLICE · February 21st, 2011, 10:17 PM

I want the Orange and Black seats....god. I hate the Creamsicle freaking Cream and Orange seats...they get so dirty and IMPOSSIBLE to clean them...

McClipseGT · February 22nd, 2011, 12:20 AM

Yeah the white is never white and when you clean them there still dirty. You are better off finding all black than the black terra cotta especially if you need the powered driver side

deprydation · February 22nd, 2011, 02:32 PM

Also thought of having them redone, but I worry cause the airbags in the seats...I wonder if an upolstery shop would even recover them...

Wow, where did you find them (Link)? I'm sure there are plenty of people here
that would be interested in buying them. Hell, I didn't even know they
made them!!

Here's the link for the OEM Covers again incase you missed it in the above Post. I was thinking the same thing about an upholstery shop and if they could do the seat covers. It would be a lot cheaper to have them make a set, you would just have to worry about the SRS system.

Hell, I didn't know they were made either. But they are AE brand (I think). Got them from Walmart and says it on the box, safe for seat airbags "smart-seam technology" or something like that. But they will rip open if the airbag deploys. They were 20 bucks for the pair. I needed something to protect them from all the dust that get son me at work (i work at a body shop)

HOMESLICE · February 23rd, 2011, 11:37 AM

Looks like i'll be making a trip to my local auto store for some rippable seat covers! thanks for the info thomas
