I am surprised you would switch between those two vehicles. THe level of luxury is quite different between the two.
lol, this is true. I think I'll still be dropping a few bucks and installing leather, but mostly for the easy clean-up of my 4 month old in the back seatIf it makes you feel any better, just remember how sitting on leather is like a sizzling skillet in the summer and a block of ice in the winter xD
+1 that be cool! I'd like to eventually do a suede or a leather suede combo but I never had luck with upholstery. Never tried it in an automotive sense because my attempts with a storage cube resulted in a need for replacement hahaOh, if anyone else is thinking of doing the leather themselves, I'll see if I can remember to take some step by step photos along the way ^_^

Some people want to customize their car to their likes and don't like to have the same thing as everyone else (stock).I chose the Scion iM because it is affordable but comes with a nice array of standard features. I find it funny that someone would buy the Scion iM and then pay a bunch more money to make it more luxurious. Why not just go with a more upmarket model in the first place?
Yeah, it's all about personalization and customization.Some people want to customize their car to their likes and don't like to have the same thing as everyone else (stock).

Lol I guess I'll have to see if I'll brave that world, though itd be the perfect thing to do at the same time as heated seats!Lol, I see+1 that be cool!

Never tried it in an automotive sense because my attempts with a storage cube resulted in a need for replacement hahaWell, nice part about automotive upholstery is that everything locks into it's own unique place on the seats via hog rings. So it's pretty difficult to mess up. It's just really difficult to slide the leather into position on certain parts.![]()
Good question! I like the looks of the iM and the feel of it, just wish it came in leather. Actually, scratch that... I'm somewhat glad it doesn't because if I got a more luxurious car, the dealer leather option would be more expensive than me installing it and I wouldn't be able to select items like the stitch colour or centre leather colour, etc... And as some people have mentioned, I don't want to drive a stock car pretty much no matter what it is, lol ^_^I chose the Scion iM because it is affordable but comes with a nice array of standard features.
