Well if ya ever decide to go that route, have no fear. That interior paint is one of the easiest to use. You don't have to have good paint skills for it to turn out well... especially on the matte finish. It's pretty forgiving stuff.

theres a silver 01 limited with agate power seats that just showed up at the yard. If you want I can grab those power seat covers if you like.

Smart move. Toyota should be a little less delicate for her.

Where are you getting your freon for all this? And how much is it costing? I ordered a compressor for my Jetta, but haven't looked into Freon prices/where to get it/what to get. I know that autoparts stores have the diy charge stuff with sealant and all, but what should I get if I plan to vacuum the system and charge it with gauge manifold and all.

Yeah you say that but you have no idea who you are talking too. When I used the word worst I was being easy on myself. LOL.
