Wanted to thank the responders to my post, but I need to have ten posts to thank, so here's +1...
I like the red myself, so I've no clue. Call a tailor or fabric shop? I'd be willing to bet there is some sort of thingy/tool that you can die thread with. Is there red stitching on the dashboard? I've had a Dashmat on it from day one.

Had a friend who could fart with such authority (and often) that if you had to ride in his car, you learned to brace yourself when he sat down in the drivers seat, because the seat itself farted when he did.

It's a very serious topic.

Hate the undersized exhaust tips on our (US) cars and the lack of choices on a reasonable priced replacement!

Yup and I ordered one through the group buy over a month ago. Still waiting on it.

After a year and a half the only thing I can complain about is the back seat. I can't even get back there, its just useless to me. Wish they would get rid of it and make the wheelbase shorter. And the extra weight/ bumpers/reinforcements that gave it the 5 star safety rating but made it too heavy. I'll sacrifice same safety to get under 2500 lbs.

I (and quite a few others) replaced mine with the ones pictured below from Pep Boys, $30 each. I've had no issue with them but some have reported a bit of rust on them.

More details in my owner's log here.

I will never sit in my back seat. The only time I ever go behind my driver seat is to flip the seat back up if I had to carry my golf clubs.

After more than a year of ownership, I can only think of 3 things I hate (need fixing) in the car.

1) Weather stripping leaves marks on windows and can deform (Seems like the rubber is breaking apart and then becoming so grippy the auto roll up from window causes it to deform).
2) Clutch stop disintegrates (Made up of thin cheap rubber, eventually breaks into pieces causing the clutch to feel odd when fully depressed).
3) Stock shift knob has horrible stitching that catches on your fingers (Makes quick shifts not as enjoyable as it should be).

I mitigated the 1st problem by applying aerospace 303. It does seem to deform less, but the marks are still there.
I completely solved the 2nd problem by installing a heavy duty rubber clutch stop.
The 3rd problem was also completely solved by getting a heavy stainless steel shift knob. In addition to having the nice smooth feel of the knob, the weight of the knob actually mutes the notchiness and it is now a complete pleasure to shift quickly through all the gears.
