Seat Covers, same for all years?

[Corey]

Are the seats in the Insight the same for all years? I want to buy seat covers but the company I want to buy from only lists covers for 2000-2003 Insights. I have a 2006. Are the seats the same shape accross the range?

Here is a link to the covers i want.

Corey, Hey, yeah they're the same, the color changed, but the seats should be the same. Anyone else care to chime in? is it a 5spd or cvt? Is it in good shape, and does it shift smoothly? Any problems?
I changed the transmission fluid after I bought mine, and it is much smoother. how many miles on it?
Congratulations!

Many people here, including me, have gotten Wet Okole seat covers. Pricey but worth it. Neoprene wet suit material, spillproof, comfy.

Thanks!

Hey Frank!

It's great to see you on line. Yeah, I finally found my Insight. It's a 5spd '06 with 60k miles. Got it from a Honda Dealer as a Certified Pre owned car. No complaints, but I know there are most likely some things that I need to do including mods. Maybe we should meet up and talk about our cars!

Cool man, we should!

for $470 a set, it'd be cheaper to get a separate set of seats from a junked insight when the current ones wear out.

all of us guys who were at gassavers.org from the beginnings back in '05-06, have since flocked there.

a corrugated plastic radiator block would be the first free mod, If I can find any, I will cut one to size for you. definitely flush the brake fluid, change the mtf, and maybe the coolant. plugs are good til 105k, and so are the valves. Finding floor mats that cover the entire floor is a challenge, but the carpet wears out easily from foot contact, so they need to be covered. I will be making a footrest, since the carpet is beginning to wear in that spot. A rear bumper velcro hanging mat thing is essential for parking in the city. rear speakers, and replacing the crappy front ones is also a must. If the car bucks at low rpm, then the egr is either dirty or faulty. $157 replacement. the stock tires suck in the winter, but rule for mpg. xerox your registration and send it to ezpass along with your info, and if you already are an ezpass customer, they will send you a "green ezpass". google it for details.

Not sure what you're referring to. But if you mean Wet Okoles they go for $235 a pair (i.e., to do both front seats). Still expensive, but not insanely so.
