how much would it be to change the seats to leather on a 2000 honda Cr-v?

it would be about 800-1000 dollars to have them changed to leather. but leather absorbs alot of heat in the summer making your car hot. i did my own seats for only 50 dollars i bought leather from a factor by me and my mom had an industrial sewing machine its not really hard you could even go threw the same pattern. my car is a 1991 toyota corolla show car. total car is custom and hot as hell

note: those are not the speakers in there now, and its covered, i have a single bench seat and i have a Dennon Stereo
soooo any ideas where i can stick some stuff?

shallow mount subs is the only option for you my friend, if that’s the enclosure tou want to use. You can build a better box and fit some actual 10’s up in there. I know you can because my dad has an even smaller truck with less space and we built one for it. All on you.

remember to pop in some tweeters for your highs =]

I have just purchased a Toyota Corrolla CSI limited 1994 car and would like to have the interior in red if i can (or red/black, red/white). If anyone could help me, that would be wonderful :)

heres not a really good place for buying/selling… you probably should try craigslist.com, it has good selections on just about everything and you can often find things close to your home

Looking for something pink for my daughter.

I have found car seat replacement parts at Babies R Us. That is the only store that I know of that would carry them. If they don’t have them, I would look on Cosco’s website and order it there.

Good luck :)

Ok,as some of you may or may not know,Im going for more of a sound quality set up.I have a 2007 dodge Quad cab…I have opted to go with Boston Acoustic pro components.The problem I have is Im going to use a prefab box that fits under the back seat.About 1 cu.ft per chamber.I was originally going to use Alpine Type R 10" because I have a pair not being used(brand new).I figured that since they would be covered or under the seat,sound quality would be affected regardless of what sub I use.So,logically I thought they would be an ok choice…(dont know if my assumptions are correct)BUT now Im having second thoughts…what do you think?I was thinking about Boston Acoustic 10"…not sure which models ,as I dont have listening experience with ANY NEWER model BA’s.I have a 2 channel amp I will be using thats 1000 watts bridged(around about) or aproximate 475 x 2 @ 2 ohms…Its a Rockford Fosgate punch 150 limited edition 25 to life amp in case you were wondering.Any recommendations?
Thanks Wquigley,I also have the punch 45 edition and fixing to get the 75 edition…Also have the OLDSCHOOL MODEL punch 75 and 1 punch 75HD and 2 punch 45hd and 1-punch 150 older models.All are sold except 2 punch 75’s :D
Also Erck…what is the sound quality of the memphis.Im not looking for SPL or mad bass.I listen to alternative rock…
MDC I know that the subs wont sound the same…thats what makes my decision so difficult…I have never heard ANY SUB IN THAT BOX SET UP before?So Im shooting blind here.I couldnt really tell you how the sound will be affected being under the rear seat?I was going to get the rear console set up which fits in between,but I would lose 1 seating space and I have kids.Need the extra room and not to mention they would probably hit the exposed sub

Well, the 10" Bostons only require .5cubic feet per sub, so they would drop REAL LOW. If you go them, you’d have to be VERY careful on how much power you give them. When subs are in enclosures that’re too large, they move a lot further, so power handling must be reduced.

The Bostons will go real low, sounding great the whole way, and the TypeR’s will sound okay.

My vote is still for the Boston Acoustics. I’m partial to them since I got my G51044 with GTR.

This year’s installment of the Chicago Auto Show has seen the launch of great vehicles for the 2008 model year. One of such vehicles introduced to the public at the said event is the all-new 2008 xB from Toyota’s marque, Scion.

The so-called urban utility vehicle was first introduced to the public in 2003 and from then on, it has received quite a warm welcome from car buyers. The Scion xB is characterized by its boxy design and this has already become a distinction for Scion cars. It would seem that Scion car buyers loved the boxy design of the xB because the latest model of the vehicle is made even bigger and still has a boxy design. The latest installment of the Scion xB is the result of the feedbacks of xB owners that they wanted a bigger car.

The all new Scion xB is the result of a designing process that aims for distinction. Some of its exterior design elements are from the Scion t2B concept car that the brand showcased during the 2005 New York International Auto Show. Style characteristics like the angles between the cars panels, the high beltline, inset taillights, rectangular grille, and the distinct fenders are all taken from the concept vehicle.

The result of the integration of such design elements to the new Scion xB resulted to a more aggressive looking design. The vehicle now comes with the radical design elements and is now popular among the younger car buyers. Sure enough, the all-new version of the vehicle will surely not disappoint.

The exterior design is not the only improvement that the Scion xB has over the previous model. The redeveloped xB is much roomier than the old models. The wheelbase was increased by four inches and the overall length by twelve inches. The width of the vehicle is also increased by three inches while the height was decreased by more than an inch to ensure a comfortable ride. The wheels are also bigger than the ones used by the current xB model – the newest xB sports 16-inch wheels.

Car buyers can also choose between three wheel covers. The brakes that the new Scion xB will use will also be bigger than what is being used on the current model. Brake discs for the front wheels will be a 10.83-inch ventilated disc, while a 10.98-inch disc will be installed at the rear. These are about a couple of inches larger than what the first generation of Scion xBs used. The vehicle can also perform better if OEM parts of high quality are used. Just like Volvo OEM parts which makes parts replacement easy and gives reliable performance.

The interior of the 2008 Scion xB is also given much attention. This is evident in the lounge-like interior of the urban utility vehicle. And since the vehicle is made bigger, the cargo space is significantly increased. The cargo hold behind the rear seats offer 29.1 cubic feet of space. If that is not enough, the rear seat can be folded down flat which would dramatically increase the cargo space. The rear seat’s 60/40 split configuration makes this car one of the more versatile load carrying cars there is. In addition to the fold down rear seats, the front seats can also be fully reclined which would even add more to cargo capacity.

Power is also upgraded for the new generation xB. Its powerplant is a 2.4-liter double overhead cam four cylinder engine. The engine is equipped with a variable valve timing technology which increases its fuel efficiency. The new xB’s engine can provide 158 horsepower which is a huge increase from the 103 horsepower that the previous models’ engine can produce.

I got a 2008 Scion XB and I want to get either leather seat covers for the 2 front seats and the bench seats or should I take it to a upholstery place where they can install the leather on to the seats and stitching it or can I order leather seats from a Toyota dealership?

Call the dealership that you got the xB from. Most dealerships have a company they recommend. I’ve never worked for a dealership that didn’t have an after-market source for leather interior.

If they don’t, email me and maybe I can help. Where do you live??

From your friendly Toyota/Scion Salesperson :)

Just go to the website for the brand that you are looking for. Most companys make replacement covers, visors and bases
