Bill, are you looking to order 1 seat, 1 patch panel, or a pair? If it's anything other than a pair, you ought to contact the vendor who sold you the new seats you have, so that you have a better chance of matching the dye lots.

Ya and the metal studs on Levi 501 jeans. Hope the replacement matches the silver on the rest of your interior.

I did that early on to a Chrysler Cordoba with "genuine Corinthian Leather " to quote Ricardo Mantalbaum (spl?).

Didn't make much of a living that week. However, I can truthfully say that I have never put "any tool" in my hip pockets since that day...ever!

Caused me to be late on my shop rent..which didn't work out well at all. He raised the rent, among other things..SOB

Dude, I feel your pain.
The most cost effective way to fix this it to take the cover off and take it to a good trim shop. They can sew in a panel. A good shop can do this so you won't notice it was done. Don't ask me how I know this. It cost me about $100.00. I mean if I had done the same stupid thing. Which of course I would never do.
