I just saw this light oak wheel on ebay. I'm not sure if it would match a shale two tone scheme.

If you are going to Carlisle Al Knoch has a big tent there - they could probably do them on-site - assuming you got with them and made an appt....

Mark, I called Leatherseats. They have suspended C5 production for about 6 months due to an extreme volume of work.

If I had to get seats again I would use leatherseats.com for the reason they where always there when I needed to talk to someone on how I wanted my seats.i also talked to leather innovations they seem hard to get on the phone.i could not ask for a better fit in my seats and quality.i did use the best quality leather they offered.put new foam down with juke pad under the foam

I didn't use jute because I didn't want a stiff surface. I used ballistic nylon instead, which prevents the seat wires from cutting into the foam, degrading the seat firmness.
Also, the original foam got worn thru in a number of areas, thus confirming my decision to get new foam.

Called AK this morning to discuss the colors & pattern I am considering and they are sending me some samples to review. If the samples look like I'm hoping they will I should be placing the order in the next week or so. I suppose the samples will take this week to get here, then I stew over it for a couple days, then place the order

kinda hoping to have them in the car first week of May... then I'm doing the visors... what would be sweet is if I can have the visors wrapped the same time the seats are getting done

maaaan, I can't wait
