Has anyone tried any of these products? They seem ridiculously cheap, and possibly very shoddy. But for the price maybe it would be worth the shot. I was thinking of the black and white seat covers, and the black dash panels. Can't do it just yet, but I thought I'd throw it out there for opinions.Seat Covers:

I'm skeptical of the seat covers - some of the buyers said they were great, while a very few said they were not.Dash kit has only 65 feedback posts, but all are 100%. I would only get them if they are molded pieces.

i'm not sure about the 09's. But, if they have side airbags in the seats DO NOT get seat covers.

Some of the better quality seat covers are constructed to work with seat airbags. Just make sure that the particular company you get your seat covers from, make an airbag compatible model for your seat.

I actually paid about $50 for fake leather seat covers on ebay and theyve held up pretty well, they look nice, no rips or tears, but i wouldnt say theyre excellent.and as for the dash kit, its way cheaper to take all the silver panels off that you want recolored and just paint them, if you take precautions and patience it can turn out pretty good.

the seat cover look hot. I had money saved to get the bumpers done, but I think I'm gonna grab these first I'm just curious about how the back of the front seats look.

Plus I think now I'd be worried about the quality with that price. It seems Brandon may get a set so we may find out.

I find it interesting that they claim that these will work for '03-'09. There were major changes to the seats for the '09 model.

They seem ok actually. I mean I know they're gonna pitch the covers to me to sell em, but it sounds good. Only setback?....I bid on the $50 spoilers. He said he'd ship if I figured the costs. Not sure I can come up with $70+ to get em here Not sure why I bid.lol As soon as someone outbids me...I'll get the coversxXfingers crossed some outbidsXx

I have a set of Grey seat covers that I bought off another member on here and I didn't get to install them. I think I paid 60 or 70 for them. How does $70 shipped sound?

Well after seing Ponta's Vibe with her matching seat covers,(there's a pic from the front of the car) I pretty much gotta have white on them. I wanna try these to let other folks in here know how they are too.
