Which center did you call?

Seems like it'd be easier and better quality to just buy the car with leather to begin with, no? Regardless, I'm interested to see how this turns out.

If they would have offered leather when I bought my 08 I would have snatched it up! This seems like a good alternative. I want to see someone try out the different color inserts for the center. I'm considering this but waiting for a few more installed pictures.

Thanks!

I can't believe how much of a difference leather makes on the overall appearance and feel.

Cost me $964.00 after taxes

They use a steam machine to get the creases out and smooth out the leather

That looks really good! I hope to get the same type of quality when mine get installed

BTW - which center did you call? And was it in fact Roadwire?

I went through the Charlotte, North Carolina branch http://roadwiremclp.com/contact/contact.html

Comes with a LIFETIME Warranty.

What?!?! I called Mike, and he was the one to tell me I needed to go through my dealer to get the seats done. The ONLY reason I can think is because my car is brand new, but that still shouldn't warrant a $400 difference

Which branch did I call? I call Miked at Roadwire, since he's apparently the only Roadwire rep in the area.

Did you call Steve of Classic Soft Trim in NC?

RoadWire is the company most of those places get the leather from (I think). You can go on Roadwire and choose what kind of customized leather you want. But Classic Soft Trim does the work.

My branch gets their leather from someone else though.
