Review of Talus Car Hooks
I like these hooks very much, but find them annoying to the occupant that sits behind the driver. I have had complaints from passengers that the hooks can catch on their clothing

Amico Motor Detachable Fastener Blue Black Seatbelt Cover Pad Pair Review
I ordered seat belt cover pads in black and blue for my Jeep. They arrived faster then the computer estimated they would. Plus they were excellently priced which is the main reason I purchased them. However, they are a lot smaller then I was expecting. Almost seem like they should be for back seats and children. Overall though they do the job they were intended for. However, I still may order something different in the near future.

I was aware for some time about the need to replace shocks in my aging car, so when I found out about "Buy 3 get 4th Free" event from Monroe I decided to give it a shot. Since we kind of like to get dirty and do things ourselves, I went for complete/pre-assembled sets of Monroe SensaTrac (Model#: 171672 for the front and 171686 for the rear). I purchased them on AutoParts123, which doesn't collect tax from NY residents, has free shipping, and offered additional 15% off on Memorial Day.
Unfortunately one shock came damaged or was badly manufactured and couldn't be used. Other than that, new shocks are comfortable, and help my car to stick to the road especially on super holey New York City roads. I didn't notice any improvement in braking or fuel economy but this was expected (every part maker claims that replacing old parts will improve MPG but of course it never happens). So far I drove only ~500 miles (including very holey roads in the city + heavy slopes in the mountains), and I like them but I can't say anything about durability and life.
I hate having to deal with spring compressors and the basic bomb to hold transferring just the spring to a new set. And since Amazon has such a great price on the full package why not update all the pieces and save the hassle.
Installing these on my 1999 Alero was very straightforward. Three bolts on top, two on the bottom. The hardest part was breaking loose the lower bolts.
Lastly, the price on Amazon was the best I could find, and shipping was free. Excellent.

Used these on a 2002 Grand Am 3.4 and it was the easiest job. Popped off the old ones, helps to have an impact wrench, and popped on the new ones. Definitely took less than an hour, including jacking up the car and getting the tires off and on. After a quick trip to the local shop for an alignment car drives like new.I hate having to deal with spring compressors and the basic bomb to hold transferring just the spring to a new set.

I'm handy, but I had never installed struts before. After watching a video or two online, I saw how it was done. Then I found these and realized it would be even easier because the springs come pre-installed. This eliminated the need for a spring compressor, spring removal, re-install on the new strut, etc. Also, I needed a new spring on one side anyway.Installing these on my 1999 Alero was very straightforward.

Honest reviews on Monroe 171672 Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly
I couldn't believe how fast I was able to take off and put in the struts. I think it took me longer to get the tools out and put back. If you have impact tools, do it. You'll save yourself about 2/3 the price of the auto shop doing it, although you'll still need an 4 wheel alignment.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Monroe 171672 Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly
Good fix for a $600 car (sold for junk) that's now worth 3.5k. Took 50 min. for the first, and 40 min. for the second w/ tires on/off and removal of old. Used on front axles w/good results. You could pay more and may not be much better. You will not need a spring compressor. The rears will take longer. '01 Pont.

I was sceptical at first to get the set because lets face it, if the covers are this cheap something is up. Right? But actually, I love this. The covers are this wierd wool like material and its good for my 100+ degree heat in central Texas, but the material seems like it will hold up when I move to Ohio in a few months. The steering wheel cover went on with a small amount of work, but stays snug against my 14" wheel. The seat covers dont have holes for the back seat bench, but I used a sharp box cutter blade and gently cut a small slit and then worked the buckles through. I have a Hyundai Accent hatchback 2010 and the covers fit well. One thing is that my drivers seat has an arm rest, but I' trying to figure out how to cut a hole to have the arm out, but maybe I'll get used to not having it. :) I'm gonna try and post pictures of how it looks in my car.
The cover colors are great. I'm not sure what kind of car/truck these seat covers would actually fit, I have a 1989 Jeep Cherokee. With a few tucks and safety pins it fits pretty good (don't look too close) The steering wheel cover was a real project to put on but with a few extra hands it finally slipped into place.

I absolutely love my set, except one thing, the sizing. The size was 'universal' except it does not fit my car all the way. The covers are a tad big, but nothing unmanagble. If you just pin the extra back it is great. The look is so sharp & is so comfy (espically in the cold/heat)!! Wonderful! Just wish it fit my car a little better (2004 Nissan Sentra).Honest reviews on Baja Inca Saddle Blanket Seat Cover Set - 11pc Front Rear Headrests

I love Betty Boop, so of course I'm going to purchase something with her on it. But to my surprise the item Betty Boop Shoulder Pad from ( Pasticolor) is a great item. It works so great, I needed something to hold my seatbelt in place without hurting me in the process. I'm in a wheelchair so it's extremely difficult for me to hassle with seat belts.Thank You for making this product, not only safe but cute to.

I love them!! Makes my black Ford Focus much more trendy! Very comfy and also durable. My husband isn't very fond of them because they are girly, but I love them!These are great. My only complaint is that they have a balloon type feeling where they don't sink into the seat, but honestly, what product could fit any bucket seat perfectly without being made for it? :)
Cheap Slanted Seat Cushion Cover - Black by Miles Kimball
We thought we were ordering the seat cushion with a black cover when it is actually just the cover. Technically, the description is correct, but the picture combined with less than clear verbiage confused us. The product itself is probably okay.
Description above says quote "Product Description
Dense foam car seat cushion instantly adds height, promotes proper posture and supports your back to make travel more comfortable. Gives new life to older car seats. Choose from 2 machine-washable covers (sold separately). 16"W x 13"D x 3"H."
UPDATE: GIVE THE SELLER CREDIT, THEY GAVE ME A FULL REFUND SO I BUMPED IT UP TO 3 STARS :)
