    Is that a polish/compound that restores the plastic from the faded look, back to black, or a paint?

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    I wanted to use the red w/ blk wire you speak of to trigger my aux reverse lights but never got around to wiring it up the "right" way. I did, however, locate and test the aforementioned wire and found it to have voltage when in reverse iirc
    Its this one...v... found up and behind the glove box. GL !!

    Thanks alot, actually thinking about doing a mini build thread some day. I would say they are hands down the best seat covers on the market, but you do pay for it.

    I hear they cause sweating in the summer. Which is the one thing that's held back my purchase. I tend to get a sweaty back fast, and feel that, from what I've heard, these would just intensify the problem ten-fold.

    How do you find them in the summer? Unbarable or not so bad?
