Hi,

I certainly see what you're talking about, which is why I asked him if the new leather was white. One interesting point: Take a look at the driver side door panel. That leather should be all original, and yet the color of the flat part of the panel is distinctly different from the leather on the armrest and the "trim" piece.

Maybe the other pieces have actually darkened over time and are not themselves the original "natur". Anyway, it would certainly be prudent to get a sample piece of new leather and compare it to your interior before spending big bucks on a re-upholstery job. I just was offering this as potentially helpful info.

Regards,


If you look at those pics, the new leather dosen't match the original plastic pcs. These plastic pcs are the sam color as the Natural interior leather!!! If the flash distorted the color, it would distort all the color for the intented frame. Why would the flash distort the leather color and not any other??

The leather in those pics, IMHO, dosen't match the original color. Maybe thats OK for the owner though.
