    In the mod section is a thread on Katzkin leathers - they have a great same right now - $300 off. They made a mistake and sent me "Front" - which matches the misty gray seats perfectly. But for me, the car has way too much light color. Do I'm going with their Flannel (medium gray) for doors, seats etc. There should still be a nice contrast with the carpet, dash etc... You can also do them in 2 tone (Rasioprius did this with pics).

    Ouch! I've been on pins and needales for months, waiting for *exactly* what you have; sunroof and misty gray (silver body). I'm about a week away from delivery and am taken back by the dirt comments. My last car had tan colored leather and after 12 years, I kind of liked the "permadirt", cracked leather, broken in look and feel. This is not to say I like dirt. Rather, it adds character over the years. But yes, I will clean it and yes, I will be finicky about it. But over years of use, age and the resultant appearance will prevail and I'll look back and think, yes, this adds character.

    Looking forward to seeing your photos :)

    Just a quick post to show you the custom two tone leather. I think if you match the interior colors and keep in the right shades of gray that the dark/light will look good in the opposite car (that is, dark gray seats will look fine in misty gray interior, and misty gray seats will look fine in dark gray interior.)

    Especially if you two tone it.

    Edit: These are cell phone picks and look horrible.

    Very sharp looking. What was the cost to modify the original leather seats?
