What did you do to your Mirage today?

[Mark]

Post a pic and link for your seat covers Mark. I bet they fit great.

I have the Dash Designs seat covers. They are the only seat covers rockauto.com carries, & they sell them for less than factory direct. I believe they came from the factory, however.

More expensive & more work to install. I installed mine last April. They do cost ($122-161 for a front set) quite bit more. Dash Designs make a number of different fabrics. List of what rockauto.com sells -

If you watch the installation clip, the side air bags on the seats are addressed. Left & right front seat covers cannot be interchanged because of that.

That's wild. At first glance I thought those were full-coverage seat covers, not just the contact areas. Looks real good.

So Dirk, what do you think about them after some use?

Theyre pretty comfy. Well see how hot theyll get in the summer. Im not experiencing any leg pain, when I was driving without a pad or seat cover. Of course Im not currently driving 8 hours a day like I was.

They look more professional than mine thats for sure! You like your OEM center console? Ive read mixed reviews on their comfort level for arm resting.

I think your seat covers look pretty nice & the price is surely better! Not sure I have seen that style before. You'll have to give us an update on them.

The OEM center console was added to my Mirage before I purchased it. It's small & to far back. I'm 6' 1" & I can't grab the steering wheel with my right arm if I rest my elbow on it. It looks ok, but it's not much of an armrest in my opinion. I have to believe the aftermarket ones are better.

Its probably alot sturdier than my cheapo $50 one. Mine wobbles slightly.

I met up with a drunk driver

Oh dear, as long as all are uninjured hopefully insurance will sort it out. Over here, probably the same over there, a drink driver loses his car as the insurance company shall not honour a claim from the drunken sot but will cover you.
Hopefully no suspension damage.
Good luck chum.

Aw crud - that bites.

Any of your airbags go off?

[Jhelinski]

Thanks guys
No airbags thankfully

Guy said he was drunk & left the scene. Admitted 100% fault so it'll all be covered.

But two accidents (not at fault) in six months, my car's going to have $0 resale value so I'm not thrilled about that.

Now if I could just figure out how to stop re-injuring this head injury...

Lots of shaving and cutting later (probably some unnecessary), and the gauge is installed. It's not wired up yet, though. Need to get some wire loom and wires that wont crumble under the hood.
