My sunroof makes a whistle-like sound whenever I drive 50mph and over. It's like the sound you get when driving down the highway with a window cracked open. Anyway, I figured it was the seal around it that came loose or something. So I took it to Toyota to see what was wrong and they told me that it was indeed the seal that came unglued/loose. Then they said that in order to fix it, they would have to order new seals and tracks, but that it would cost me $2,200! 
What I want to know is, has anyone had this happen to them? If so, is there any other way to get it fixed without costing me so much $$?

You can adjust the glass itself using a torx screw. When u look at the track for the sunroof the glass attaches with two pieces on the driver and passanger side. Try moving those around and seeing if u get a better close with the glass against the car. Might stop the noise.
I'm looking at installing Sparco Speed seats: http://www.dezod.com/pd_sparco_torin...t.cfm?OID=6016
My question is 1. Can I use this with my stick seatbelts and 2. What bracket do I need to mount them?

Yes, it will work with stock seatbelts.
But it will cause your airbag light to stay on depending on what year your car is.
You would use this bracket.

omg thats a ridiculous price. I'm quite sure you don't need to replace the tracks and a small reseal like that can probably be done by a small shop specialist for a fraction of that price.

so my bro has an aftermarket pioneer headunit in his eclipse. i was fidling with it and found out i could wirelesly connect my ipod and play music through it via bluetooth. i have the stock headunit in my 2010 tC. i was wondering if the oem bluetooth connection would be able to connect to my ipod and play music wirelesly also? or is that soley for the purpose of cell phones?
^^^
it's definitely possible with the oem Bluetooth, but the sound quality is pretty bad..
EDIT: At least, it works with both of the iPhones I've tried it with.
Don't want to tell you it works with an iPod, and for some reason it not work. I don't think there's any reason why it wouldn't work.

hmmmm. well, would i be controling it through the ipod itself? or would it be through the headunit as if i had it plugged in? and how bad is the quality? like, 1 to 10. 10 being best
yeah, the do work great. its just that my ipod jack is loose on the inside, so sometimes, it thinks that i've unplugged the aux cable(even though i havnt), which automatically pauses it sometimes. if im using the aux cable, it pretty static since its loose. and if i use the ipod connector and it pauses, i need to unplug my ipod, press play, and plug it back in. so annoying.
so thats why i kinda wanna get the bluetooth, and plus i kinda wanna use my phone with it also.

No, not static.. I don't know how to explain it.
Continuity of the music is fine, but it sounds like music that's being played from a phone's loudspeaker. Clarity isn't good, kinda fuzzy.
I'll try to take a video tomorrow comparing music played through USB and Bluetooth.

The Bluetooth functions for phone work pretty well. Once again, clarity isn't amazing, but it works fine. Volume has to be turned up/down on the phone, not the radio unit. That's one thing tht bothers me.
Also, you kinda have to speak up if you want the other person to hear you. Especially while accelerating.

Alright, here it is. It's less noticeable on these vids, but I think you can get a feel for the difference.
Before getting the bluetooth, I'd try to find somebody local that has it, and listen to it.
