just made the decision to get my first scion a few weeks ago and i love it! release series 8.0 love the color, voodoo blue. looking for matching seat covers and some ideas on modifying the interior... any suggestions? thanks!

 

Welcome to the site and welcome to the Scion family!

 

thanks, glad to be here!

 

Some masking tape and an afternoon will get ya this.

Once you start, it's hard to stop. I haven't had mine a month yet and I've blacked out my headlights, installed vertical LEDs, and I'm going to reupholster my doors this week. It's a lot of fun.

 

You should look into Clazzio seat covers, best fitting seat covers on the market.

 

@Danny - what type of paint?

 

welcome...

 

I used rustoleum plastic primer and then rustoleum acrylic enamel. It's pretty strong once it cures. I got both at Autozone for about $6 each.

 

Awesome, thanks! I was thinking orange and blue..(Knicks colors).. how do u think that would turn out?

 

It would definitely go well with your exterior color. I'll tell you that the passenger side vent is the hardest one to get out. You have to start pulling the dash apart down by the door frame. It takes some muscle to lift it high enough to get a stubby Phillips head in there. There are 3 screws holding it in. The center 2 vents just pop right off the dash with the bezel. Driver's side is easy too._That whole dash piece pops off too.

 

Thanks!

 

@Dj Spreewell, Are those 16 inch wheels by chance???

We are looking at wheels for our Release 8.0 #1431 and I like yours....

 

actually they are 18's. they were on there from the dealership!

 

like this

 

That is very nice!

 

Thanks...i keep hoping the new owner of my old box will turn up on here...i miss Lulu.

 

If I'm not mistaken, those are the TRD wheels right?!

 

Nope.

Just a set of after-market wheels that the dealership installed before they put it on the sales lot. Also one more item for them to mark up and make profit on.

 

all i know is i ended up getting them for free! the dealer sold me the car and i had it for like a week and they called me to come back. when i get there he says they couldnt get the bank to loan the 3,000 extra for the wheels and tires so my price dropped by 3k and i keep the wheels! sweet deal for me!

 

Yeah you are right. They look a lot like the TRD wheels though!
