Yeah the bottom just dosen't want to lay right at all. I'm gonna shave it down a bit to get it to sit flush. It was driving me crazy also.

Nope it's not just you. I'm sure everyone that has them will be having the same problem.

yes sir, i removed my stock pillar, test fitted it, it looked good, fit well. but the little tip at the bottom that kinda does that slope. doesnt wanna fit in there snug. if i sand it down a little im sure it will be a very good fit. i also took off one of the clips on the stock piller to get it to fit (the clip closer to the bottom).

if you have any info on how to get the bottom to fit better, that would be great!

overall it is a very good product, and looks great.

Yes I did but I figured out how to get it to sit flush. Mine is perfect now. It just took some serious pushing with the thumb to get it to finally lay all the way down. I don't have that problem anymore.

Did either of you have problems with the top corner wanting to sit flush against the oem pillar. From the looks of it when I mocked it up the CC pillar to the oem pillar...I may be running into an issue when I get it all tighten down. But I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Hey Munch...or any of you...can you tell me if the AC Autotechic oil filter adapter will work for our tC's. I went on Scionsport.com and they really didn't say whether or not the part would work. I safely assumed they would...but I guess I may have to find out the hard way when in comes in.

CC...the pillar is phenominal! Great job you guys. I've already being catching some stares this morning at work while my car was in the shop. All the Ford and Chevy guys in there were jocking my nutz! Man it fills gude! Its money well spent!

Well, I just ordered 1 from you off Ebay....I hope I get the last one

I also wanted to ask you what the cost would be for another headrest Katskin cover. I ordered a kit from you a few months back and sent you a PM explaining. My daughter left the box out and one of our cats decided to make a bed in the sweet smelling leather and while lounging..decided to CHEW on a piece. Thank goodness it was only the headrest...but it's still messed up. Not bad, but enought that I notice. My order was Black leather with silver stitching. Any chance?
