you want to make sure the car cover is breathable or it can do llots of damage down under. they have some good car covers that are some of the lowest prices I've seen at empire covers.

weve had our seat covers from walmart for a couple years now and theyve been through the washer/dryer several times too. they still look brand new.

I bought a $20 2 piece set from walmart, it has a two tone color, light grey in the center, and darker grey around the edges. It fits fine, lol they're universal fit. I've attached photos, sorry if they're offset I wasn't really planning on taking pictures of the seats at the time but you get the idea. Haha I get a kick out of getting inexpensive things.

The one thing that doesn't seem to fit are these chrome hubcaps i bought from walmart, its like the inset of the caps were too deep for my 15 inch steel wheels.

Usually the hubcaps have a steel spring ring that fits in one of two or three different height slots in the tabs around the outside. You may have it in the wrong set of slots. My luck's been bad with losing those things, though. That's why I'm running bare now.

Regarding seat covers/side air bags:::::.Either Scotch guard your seats or just put partial covers on.....where they only cover the part you actually sit/lean -up against.........i'd say scotch guard though...easier with less worry.

Nah I had the steel rings, lol hard to lose them when they're new in the box. Its just that the wheel covers seem to be a tad too small, or my rims popped out too much in the center, but it was like trying to fit a size 34 person into size 30 pants. The wheel covers didn't reach from corner to corner. On a side note, I would like to run bare but with a chrome center cover, chrome lugs and a chrome circular rim that I saw somebody else had in the forum. Been too lazy to query ebay for those items though.

A chrome center cover's nice. The "beauty rings" are butt ugly IMO. Actually, when I got my Yaris I really wanted to pull off the wheel covers and put "baby moon" hubcaps in the center, but the wheels don't have the necessary bumps inside the center dish to hold hubcaps. Someone made a bracket held by the lug nuts to hold his baby moons on, but that's an added complication. So I'm just letting the four chrome lug nuts be my "center decoration."

They do have a nice reflection in the moonlight...LOL.

Well, here's the other walmart accessories:

1. "leather" shift knob - $6, universal fit, I have auto tranny
2. chrome wheel covers - $22
3. pedal covers - $13
4. tint - lol... i tried and failed, will be returning the tint kit, but accept the loss of $10 tint film.

I'll be the first to admit that the wheel covers look silly, but hey, the yaris looks silly hahaha I'm all for the flamboyant, cheese covers! The shift knob fits great though, looks great and is much larger than the stock auto shift knob (which is unusually small) so it fits more comfy in my hand. The pedal covers looks good too surprisingly.

I haven't tried it, and would be go for it too. I use http://www.brandsdragon.com/ products which i found worth buying.

Thanks.
