    Looking for good wheel cover, floor mats, and seat covers that are decently priced.

    I see seat covers going for $500 and floor mats for $200. Was wondering if there was other alternatives out there that are cheaper, but still of good quality.

    But I heard that you shouldn't put floor mats on top of your carpet mats as that's what started the entire recall on Camrys. Any input on that as well?

    Do not install seat covers that wrap around the sides of the seat back of the front driver or passenger seat. There is a side airbag that comes out of the seat back on the vertical edge closest to the door of the two front seats. A seat cover will inhibit the proper deployment of these airbags.

    Both very good tips. Thanks!

    Can you put these floor mats over the carpet floor mats that come with the car?

    I'm struggling with he seat cover issue as well. Does anyone have any suggestions? My biggest concern is the back seat(s) and my dogs.

    I did see seat covers on Amazon that claimed special stitching to not interfere with airbags but I'm not willing to compromise safety to find out.

    Any input on the rear bumper appliqué? Thanks for starting this thread. Good questions.

    Haji I are they documented as safe? (ie proven to allow the seat airbags to deploy reliably)

    Does anyone know how well the cloth seats clean up wih a spilled drink or dirty dog paw?
    Thanks!

    Not sure if they're documented as "safe", but wet okole has been around for quite some time, and one of the questions they have on their website as part of the ordering process is if the seats have airbags...
