Default Leather seat

OK guys here's the problem i have a 2007 coupe with a cashmere interior with sport seats. What i want to do is replace this seat covers with cashmere outer and cobalt red inserts. So far i have tried leatherseats.com but they dont offer cashmere at all they only offer light oak which is a c5 color and not a true match to my car. Plsu the red cobalt is a rough texture compared to the oem leather i have. Also tried mid america order a set first of nov. 2016 was told 2 weeks well i checked about 3 weeks after ordering and they said oh well our supplier is out of the red and they wont be done till mid Dec. Week talked to them today and they had a new song that said MAYBE Jan of 2017. So guess what cancelled that order right then and there.

So any 1 know where you can quality seat covers in a 2 tone with really nice leather?

Hey commander how about you i know you replaced a lot so help me out here.

Already have a new steering wheel that will be here monday to match the seats if i ever get em. Here;s the wheel not quite finished

I would try what RickT has recommended first. Then, if that doesn't work (which I'd be surprised about), you could try APSIS USA, Katzkin, Alea, Roadwire. See which one works for you.

thanks for the ideas all i tried alea katzkin and roadwire they dont offer cashmere or cobalt red it seems talked to apsis by email they make seats but i want to use my eom seats as theothers are way to hard for me to get in and out of as i'm 72 and dont move so good anymore lol. Old age dealt me a real blow 7 years ago with Meniere's disease which cause severe imbalance not good. But oh well got to just deal with it

Sorry it didn't work out for you. In which case, I'd talk directly with Vette Candy in South Texas. They get the original-colored leather for the C6. With a little work, I'd bet they can fix it up for you. I believe Sergio is still the lead person there---give him a call from their website, or email me and I'll find his number.

You're local to me. I'd love to check out your interior in person once you get it all done!
