Anybody have 2-tone leather seats for 3G TL?

I have a BIG hole in my passenger seat. I'm going to replace it, but figured might as well go with replacing my whole interior with seat covers from leatherseats.com.

Anybody seen 2-tone interiors with 2 colors that are not much similar in tones? (like the Type-S)

I have parchment color scheme. Which my seats are "light tan" or whatever it's called.

I thought of MAYBE getting Black/sandstone covers. But realized I could really only get Sandstone/Black instead (with the centers being black).

This is because the leather skins that I'd buy would ONLY be around the seats MINUS the "back panel" that we have where the "pocket" thing is in the back that retracts.

But I don't think sandstone with black centers would look that "fluid" afterall....



Thanks in advance

That's what leatherseats.com calls the "tan" color for my car that they sell.

This is from their eBay auction, an image in which they claim is from using THEIR leather skins replaced. I talked to the guy on the phone and he said this as well, but it's hard for me to believe that what's pictured is actually from their skins.

I don't have Photoshop, but could anyone use that above picture and "color" the middle black? So I could get an idea of what I'd be looking at?

I would rather have black with the center "tan" but since I would have to reuse the BACK of my stock seats that would be "tan" it wouldn't look right.


Thanks

Anybody know how to use the search function for the 3G TL section of the forums?

Gotta search. Almost 98% of AZ users don't have it. Which presents a .000121% probability that someone that actually has your options would post in this thread or even be a remotely active on these boards still.

Thanks for your positive contribution.

I did search.

Nothing came up.

Just because nothing came up within the countless of threads within these forums does NOT mean no member has came across said topic.

If you don't like this thread, go complain to a MOD to lock/delete it.

Thank you for your positive response.

I'm sorry that I follow the rules and search before making a thread. And before you say I have no life, it took me approx. 22.6 seconds to find those links.

Good day

I applause to you. Oh the irony behind your 2 posts within this thread...

You could've EASILY done the same with your FIRST post rather than bash another member.

You're taking the interwebz too serious.

Keep counting your seconds...you're doing a great job, herb.

Anyways, this thread can be locked by MODS now.

It is ironic how you say my post was ironic when your post was more ironic than my post.

In no way did I "bash you". I just told you to search. So you're admitting you didn't search? I'm taking this serious? Even though you're trying to directly attack me? You are now asking mods to close thread? How ironic.....

FYI: This can be done, covers will run about $900 to $1200 w/o installation, which can be done DIY. I'm toying with the idea on the TL.

that looks weird, i like it better with the dark being on the sides, and the lighter color in the middle strip.

Dude, you recently started a thread in the Performance subforum about exhaust mods without searching. C'mon, let's take it easy here.

hey XIV did you consider just swapping out the entire interior to black? bruce aka ack05tl recently did the same for me. i had the exact same issue and just realized that replacement cost to fix the damages is close to if not more than just swapping out the entire interior. I have an 05WDP w/ tan interior with holes on leather and headliner so I came across Bruce who had black panels and seats. so what i did was swapped those out, sueded the headliner (which bruce actually did as well) and the car had a nice two tone touch with the tan and black. i subsequently did some work to it myself and just converted the whole thing black except the carpet and lining. PM me your email and i can share some pics with you if you like. But I am sure if you contact Bruce he can help you out, and i can def. speak for his superb quality of work.

Same here. Decided to keep it all tan and just get new carpet all black (like the BMW schemes).

Thanks for the contribution

EDIT: porkyxp, didn't initially see your post. Damn, I gotta see this! I'm PM'ing my email addy to you to take a look. Real curious now. Bruce aka ack05tl as in the vendor? The parts you got was more expensive than the skins?
I'll finish just ask you the rest in the email since this thread was DOA
