Nice day today. Decided to swap out the spoiler. The original spoiler was held in with six long bolts. Not to bad to remove. But did run into an issue with the new spoiler. I had to move it back more than I would have like. I needed to cover up the large square holes. I use...

First, I recently drove a 2016 Maxima and loved the race feeling seats. They definitely made me feel secure when taking tight corners fast. Does anyone know of a car where seats or even just the covers could be swapped out relatively easily and give the same level of support? Second, is it...
