The side airbag option is in low production, the numbers I got were about 5% of the cars made in 2004 had the side airbags. So depending on what color you want, trans, and location you may be waiting at least 3 month. (if you have to place an order)

What does that have to do with seat covers?

And the dealership tried telling me that to cover their behinds just in case and it took just over 3 weeks to get my 5spd, loaded with all of the airbags.

Ya you are not supposed to get seat covers because they are in your seats.

Side CURTAIN airbags come out of the side of the car. The package with the tC is side curtain airbags and side airbags that come from the seat, thats why I asked.

I was Just letting Bakaduin know some dealerships are having trouble matching color, trans, and side air, depending on location, and that they should place an order ASAP if they are wanting a car with side air in the next 3 weeks (to be safe).

Because if you can't get a car with side airbags, (to your order specs) seat covers will no longer be an issue.

You can get seat covers that have cut-outs for the airbags.
