Regardless, the only vinyl I'm finding on my "Leather Seating Surfaces" are not on the seating surfaces - including those my back is against. I'll concede that I'm not sure about the middle of the seat where there are perforations for the heated seats. But the lower, side bolsters and area above that are either leather or specially treated to smell that way. Then again, them body panels on my car are the cheapest metal I've ever seen - almost like they are plastic or somethin!

While I normally HATE admitting I'm wrong, this is actually good news! Now I have another reason to add more stuff to the car. Time to hit that DownSouthVettes web site!
