Did you happen to get the leather from Mr. Mike?
Leather especially is hard because if I`m not mistaken it can slightly change shades over different batches.

No these are not Mr Mikes leather seats but ones that cost me 1/2 as much but they look excellent. Mr Mikes might be of better quality leather ( I have used them) but for 1/2 the price I decided to take a chance and was very pleased. It was actually some outfit from Texas that sold them to me.
I don't have any leather samples available so is there are way that you could send small snips of the red shades that you offer? I'd be happy to send you the postage and a couple of bucks for doing it this way. I want to order but don't want to receive something that is too far off . I know that the color won't be accurate but it will give an idea, Give me a couple of days and I'll post pics here for a starting point. .
Perhaps we can find a way for you to get close to the color. This is the online color which BTW looks close.
BTW, fine looking product.

I'd like to see these seats if they cost 1/2 as much as Mikes and are of good quality. I have Iggee seat covers and they are pretty durable but they do not look as nice as the leather or leatherette.

I am working on a way to have the cigarette lighter replace the cupholder on the drivers side.
This is the first I did, but I have to move it up a bit as it hits the console right above where the lighter normally goes.
That`s a piece of ABS plastic that the lighter mounts in and it does look good in the cupholder liner it`s just that the picture makes it look different.

Why not make a hole in the center to the rear of the cupholders and locate the receptacle there? This way you would have both cupholders to use and the receptacle for cell phone GPS etc. The only thing is that you probably could not use the lighter element as the heat may have an effect on the vinyl.------------------

I was trying to come up with something that would be able to use the stock wires.
Also, because of where the lighter would go through it might hit the top of the console.
I`m not sure it would clear.
I`m always looking at ways to improve or come up with something new.

mike, you said it might hit the top of the console what moving it to the front-center would there be enough room there?[This message has been edited by Tom Slick (edited 07-14-2011).]

MIke go a few posts up and see a reasonable reprsentation of the color that I am looking for. Do you have anything close? I want to buy one of your deep cup holders but need to get close on the color and waiting to see if you can get a place for the receptacle included. In the worse case can you plug in say a GPS device under the armrest and then put it back in place? Still might buy it without the receptacle but a place to plug your radar detector or GPS would really be nice. ------------------
