bradca....
what leather shop are you using? I'm in socal as well and I would appreciate the contact info for leather.
also, do you know if having leather done affects the warranty on the vehicle (as well as extended warranty)?
how do they ensure that the side airbags will still work?
by the way, you have the EXACT color and package Prius I'm waiting for! What wheels did you put on your prius? they look bigger than standard..... does it affect your mpg?
i'm also considering moving to seattle...... this is creepy! why are you moving (if you don't mind me asking)?
thanks,

AND you're in Long Beach too...
STALKER!!!
hehe... funny...
I just called Toyota of Long Beach. (562-494-4444) I honestly don't recall who they referred me to as I didn't take advantage of it, but I did mention about the side airbags and they informed me that it's just a matter of some breakaway stiching and that would be no problem.
As far as warranty, I'm not sure, but I would assume that the only warranty effected would be any involving the seat material and staining/tearing. Again though, I'm not sure and I would recommend contacting a dealer and finding out for sure. And if it sounds in your favor, get it in writing!!
The rims are 17's, chrome, and from the America's Tire in the Long Beach Town Center. They were a special order and took about a week for them to get. My mpg does go down some, but with the way I drive it was never 55+ to begin with... If I drive mellow, especially dealing with the freeway speeds and the stop lights at EVERY SINGLE BLOCK, I can get mid 40's or better.
If you're familiar with the Seattle area, I grew up in Kirkland and have been down here for the last 3.5 years. I got my credit repaired and started looking into a home loan. The amount I qualified for wouldn't get JACK in CA but gets me a 1.5 yr old condo in Everett (15-20 min NE of Seattle) Between being able to afford something so awesome up there, and the oppurtunity to move back home... Count me in!
I think I got all your Q's
Feel free to contact me via email or IM if you want and if you have more Q's. (or this thread is fine too)
