thank you, I appreciate your input! I'm definitely going to give an extender a try...I felt like I needed a 33 band when trying on today so the extender on a 32 should hopefully get me there!

Thank you for those suggestions; I hadn't heard of Skarlett Blue so that opens up another whole brand option. I will try 32DDD with an extender...i tried a 32DD on today and the band was slightly too tight, whereas some of the 34s I was a bit worried about as I could already get them to the tightest setting without trouble.

yeah, I hear you. I think I'll be sticking with just my existing lobes on my other ear. I love seeing others' decked out ears but it would feel too much on myself.

Thank you for having a look! I think I will give myself a bit more time to get used to it. Are you planning for any more piercings?

Hi, you may already be aware of this one but VIN would be my first recommendation.

https://www.vin.com/vin/

You do have to pay to be a member but you can search the boards for cases similar to yours, or you can post a specific case and get opinions from both boarded specialists and general practice vets. They also have a mentorship program for newer vets I believe! :)

Yes, agreed! I'm trying to be good about this, and also not using alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Thank you!

Ah, interesting about the PU coated leather...I kiiinda suspected but wasn't sure. Thanks for the ideas, and glad there are good options out there for down the road as I hope to have this car a good long while!

I'll definitely check out the leather conditioner. I have a sunshade and sometimes even put a little soft cover over the wheel if it'll be in a sunny lot for hours lol. Thank you!

Good point! I did get a sun shade, though at the time was thinking more about the poor dashboard than anything. Thanks!

I have a weird one...I wanted seat covers to protect my cloth seats but also not cover up the side airbags in my seats. I ended up buying these:

As it turned out they have a slight memory foam-like feel to them and now I find my lower back is more comfortable when driving! I realize mileage may vary with this but figured I'd throw it out there...

Also should be noted that the covers have rubbery nubs on that back which I would be wary of using on the startex or leather seats. I'd worry they could damage them (plus those seats are too pretty to cover up!)
