Well I found the fix for both. Not at the dealer tho. Might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone...

Yeah, but there are no other cloth type seats available for the TL. Tired of the hot leather, slip n sliding. I guess I could of put Accord cloths in, but they are ugly.

I was thinking of painting the faux wood. Anyone done it??

People have painted the wood trim. Easier thing to do is buy vinyl sheets and put the vinyl over the wood trim with the help of a blow dryer. When you plan to sell the car, just peel off the vinyl. PM me if you need more info bro.

like the seats! i think they would match better in leather though. and i dont think you would have a problem slipping around with those bolsters with leather. but nont the less cool! id like to get some and then have them apolstered in leather if i could ever find some one who could get leather in the fern color

Yeah, I need in in fern too....I wouldn't mind going with racing seats now. Damn I should have gotten a black interior, much easier to find accessories.

Thanks for the info. They do make tan leather race seats.. not sure what fern is. But my whole point was to get away from hot leather.



or



The power features doesnt work anymore unless I put back the stock seats.
