    Sarah, I recently got a Ranger Tremor, but you can't get the black appearance package with the tremor. SO I ordered all the badges from the black appearance package separately. I disassembled the fender vent badge my truck came with, and then disassembled the one from the black appearance package, harvested JUST the lettering rom the black appearance package and reassembled my badge with the black lettering instead of the chrome. What I'm trying to say is. I get it. Because NO ONE will ever care but me.

You show everyone your mistakes and always explain them honestly and inadvertently comically enough to make me wish I hadn't taken that swig of a adult beverage right as your explanation is revealed. The world needs more people like yourself,your friends have no idea how lucky they are to have a friend like yourself. I don't give comments like this to just anyone,so stay who you are and please never change. To some you are that moment in a day that brings something other than the same ol-same ol.

My cellphone has slid under the seat in my 2013 Camry SE V6 and it’s super tight going in from the side, so I’d have to ol power the seat forward or back just to gain access.

    if you cant find seatbelts to swap, you can swap just the one part out of the seat belt. All you have to do is remove the tensioner, pull the belt all the way out and it is held in the tensioner by running through the center with a loop and pin. once removed you can swap the just the seatbelt buckle and reassemble. Also you could get a sheet of foam and poke it behind the leather to fill the small gap in the side trim.

    "Way-back-when" I did a similar swap with '04 STi seats into an '04 FXT. Swapped the heating pads, too. I still have a couple of side curtain airbags waiting to be discharged. Regarding the gap in the front seat trim, you could fill out the seat bolster with some eva foam. Low seats are for racecars, not street cars.
