    FYI... ratio of red interiors to black interiors is only roughly 3:2, so it looks like you may be on to something.

    I have heard of that mod.
    I was surprised at the number of red interiors. For those that have it, bless your hearts. It is the most garish, hideous thing I have ever seen....LOL. I can't even stand to sit in the one at the junkyard. WAYYYY to much red. Red belongs in a super sports car, not a SUV.

    I have the red/black interior and....completely agree. Its way too much red for me & the seats seem to show more wear.

    My original black ones started failing a few years ago on their own...I never remove them. The set I ordered came in red, so I threw them in a drawer and bought a length of wooden dowl (Johnny Apollo gave me the idea) and glued it into the black broken ones....Good as new!!

    I'm going to do the dowel mod before mine break.
    Did you use a dowel wide enough so it was a snug fit or slightly thinner so the glue doesn't get scraped off as you inserted it?

    LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!! If I was ferrari, I would walk up to Isuzu and kick them square in the nuts. Isuzu has no business giving the nod to a supercar producer...lol. It would be like me dunking on an 8 foot rim in a pair of Air Jordans, and then nodding at Michael, like "whats up, I did that dunk for you"....lol.
