Well having to many dishes, and only one mouth, decided to start with this project. The TRD bumper is aside.
I went ahead, and bought MR2 seats because of similarities with our seats. One of them being the lower cushion seats as high as ours. And just by looking at it they look similar.... some pics....   now look at the following picture, is that from a celica or mr2  , they look very similar.... took apart the whole thing...  and the pieces are ready to be cleaned....  but one thing that puzzles me, is the fact of the similarities of the seats.... just take a look at the cushion and the trim pieces.... it looks like i tore up a celi seat. the trim pieces are identical.  so this leaves me with a mistery, can i put the cushions of the mr2 on the celi seat track. I dont have a clue yet, but i will try. I am so tired, so i only undid the mr2 seats, i would have to take apart a celi seat and figure out compatibility. Keep you guys posted.....

one of the most important things, check and ask before you buy, this was ebay, and it was 400 miles away, therefore i could not see the repaired cigarette burn on the drivers side, after washing the seat you can really tell.
  well i repaired it, it does not look perfet, but who cares. i cant see it if im driving... drivers side is already done and mounted...   no, that is not a stain, that is my sweat...  The drivers side was tricky, since is not a perfect fit for the lower cushion, you cannot make the lower adjustment work. I cannot raise the seat, without some resistance, you can fix this by shavin some of the upper torso foam. I did not do it, since i dont raise the seat. It just makes it tight to fit an amp under there....  as for the back seats... sorry shaun, here are your seat covers, i will use the sample to trace on the new fabric.  im looking for a decent fabric. Im making my own covers... sorry for the dog, he got in the way... This post has been edited by njccmd2002: Jun 15, 2011 - 12:32 AM -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...
