Nice! If you want to make those "creases" in the leather disappear, you can just take the magic eraser to it again. Scrub parallel with the crease until the dirt disappears, and the crease is gone! Makes seats look like brand new.

Ah, I see. They cleaned up nice though. Getting those creases takes a lot of time and patience...and erasers. :???:

Looks great but having never even been in a 2000+ can someone explain what the upgrade was?

The 00-02 cupholders where too close together, you can't fit two bottles of pop or two cups in them at all, also the TC and heated seat switches are between the shifter and the cupholder vs in front of the shifter.

As mentioned, the cup holders had a lid that closed over them that collected dirt in the crevices and the cup holders were too small and close to be able to put 2 20 oz soda bottles in them. The traction control button was behind the gearshifter and was being bumped and turned off all the time. Here is a before picture (all though it is not that good) and the cup holders are under the lid just bebind the TC button:

Here is an image borrowed from craigslist:

If she didn't still owe me thousands on the car she bought, it would be a different story...I still love her, but she understand my business.

The only thing I miss about my 2000 (as far as the interior) was the cubby where the TC button now is. I wish I could re-locate the TC Button and get that cubby back.

...Well, you could do that Ed, lol.

I like the hideaways. But I do hate that the cup holders overlap. But I don't usually have more than one drink so I'm good, it sucks for road trips though.

Looks good, nice swap work there.

Not only do the cup-holders overlap, the rear one is underneath the lip of the center console lid. SOO annoying. Useless for anything more than a 12oz pop can.
