I had the suede ones for about 8 months and they never started fading on me, and now they've been in my sisters tC for about 6 months and they're still not faded at all. Neither of out tC's have any tint at all either.

Oh sweet another southerner

I'm from Houma, Louisiana but no one knows where that is. It's about 50 miles south of New Orleans. I live almost where the hurricanes hit first lol.

Don't be scurred to lower the car, any drop on springs will give you plenty of room for your exhaust. I'm slammed and my HKS axleback barely ever scrapes.

Yeah I remember the pics of your seats, they were pretty sexy. I will probably end up getting the suede.

A friend of mine used to have them in his tC and I remember seeing them at a car show and being amazed at how clean they looked. I was going to but them when he traded it in but the dealership actually wanted him to keep them on the car.

I have tint and my car is parked under a carport usually anyway, now to hunt for the best price!

You should be fine then. One of my friends has them and her rear headrests faded some, dunno why though.

Do yourself a favor when you do get them. Remove the seats from the car to put them on. Makes the installation so much easier and you can make sure they're straight.

Thanks for the tip, will definitely do that. I was looking at how they bolted up the other day when I was running the wire for that subwoofer anyway haha.

I'm still undecided although I'm leaning towards suede. How did the suede feel? Was it grippy or could you slide around on it?

The front seats are only bolted down by 5 bolts, 4 floor on the floor and 1 on the side, then just lean the seat back and unplug the connectors.

It's very grippy.

So I'm thinking realll hard about getting the flat black bumper and lip overlay from bluebat.

The way I'm picturing it, the contrast on my FM would look nice with my darker wheels and tint.

Thoughts?

i have my center of my front bumper blacked out with a black lip and i like it, i did it cus i had a few huge rock chips so instead of paying to have teh whole bumper done, i just painted the center section, came out pretty good for spray paint.

Yeah I feel yah, with the overlays if I don't like them I can just peel it off but I'm sure I'll like it.

Just gotta save up money now, really wanna do it. Makes the front end look more aggresive.

I'm gonna order really soon, just waiting for bluebat to get back to me. 67 shipped aint too bad, I'm sure I'll like them. Just hope I can put them on right. Lots of semi-soapy water I'm guessing.

I've seen one or two, but I don't have the pics on hand. Like davedave said his is painted and it looks real nice

I've actually decided to wait on that, because I really want a roof rack. I'm not sure though, so I made a poll to see lol.

I think a rack could give my car a nice look. Slammed cars with racks just look so nice, for example shinjitai's car. All the pieces I need I can get for around 200 bucks on eBay. Plus I need something to bring my bikes places anyway.

Sweet, sweet. I can get everything brand new for 219 shipped! That's a real good price but I'm scared I'll get it in and hate the way it looks. Any slammed FM tC's with racks?

Dude get it. I personally think it will look good. I haven't really seen a tC with a roof rack that I didn't like.
