Nice job on the cover Gummy, but I noticed that this isn't your 'rolla, new ride? The dash appears to be an FN15 Pulsar and the redline goes to 7000 so don't tell me you got a VZR?

Nope its a Primera 2.0l ;) Exchanged this for the Baleno. Corolla with my friend on rent.

Actually my mom was impressed with the thread work and she didn't believe for one second that I did it, neither did my colleagues at office.

Ordered through ebay, cost about Rs. 1000/= and one and a half hours of a Sunday to sew the thing on. The one with red thread in a tad more expensive.

I just bought a "Craftsman 12V Portable Inflator w/ Digital Tire Pressure Gauge Car Pump". Got a deal for US$ 19.99. Tested for few days and works well so far. Hope you guys might be interested. But look for deals otherwise it’s about US$ 40 - 50.

Check deals like this - http://www.dealsofamerica.com/Craftsman-12V-Portable-Inflator-w-Digital-Tire-Pressure-Gauge/197805.htm

So far in ebay its about US$ 40 - 50 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Craftsman-12V-Portable-Inflator-w-Digital-Tire-Pressure-Gauge-Car-Pump-Portable-/181552449102?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a455e864e

Why it’s good?

  1. Easy to pump air for your vehicle on the go. And you can preset the tire pressure and it will automatically cutoff.
  2. This also comes with lot of accessories for bicycles, football / basketball, etc..
