    cardinal.

    I'd leatherique them (dye system) and see about getting the piping fixed.

    I love cardinal, and a redye would look hot if you did it well.

      Rob S does some really good work, he just made me matching suede headliner, rear deck, ebrake and shifter boots. I got some more work to do before I put them in, but upon initial inspection they're nice. Super easy guy to work with as well.

        Dude. For all the trouble I went through just to put it in...there is no way in hell that I will ever sell it. EVER. Unless you paid me $2,000.

        And I STILL have things to finish with it. And I STILL want a new fucking carpet (OEM, not other bullshit).

        And don't do the headliner if you don't really, really, REALLY want to. So frustrating.

            Rob S does awesome work but suede is a bad choice unless its a headliner which doesn't see direct sunlight. My Rob S suede shift and ebrake boots are like straight up light brown now because they have faded so badly. I've only had them about a year, and my car is garaged most of the time. Alcantara is the only way to go.

              If I could afford to do it right now, I would have them custom recovered, but probably stick with a red/black theme. The only other thing I'd like is a black and grey. I just got rob's ebrake boot and handle. Doesnt quite match the grain on the wheelskins shifter boot I have, but it is real nice.

              Its been awhile since I've put good conditioner on. I've been using the sprays in between, but they only last a few days.

                Not to drift OT, but although I haven't installed them yet, and have no experience with them over time, Rob UV protected my suede goodies. <--that sounds dirty upon review

                  Maybe have the bolsters of your seats recovered in black leather and do black map pockets and arm rest's. I have never seen this combo before and I think it would look badass. If you seats are in good structural condition, consider reupholstering them.

                    Ive already got black arm rests. I had actually though about two toning the front seats with black bolsters since they wear the most on these seats. My mom's done replacement seat covers before, so I'm trying to convince her to help me out.
