I have no idea what the cost was. It was all bundled into the 40k price I paid for the car. I chose not to go with a bright white, due to fears of having the leather get discolored immediately. I have had experience with off white leather before, and I was really happy with how it aged. I am hoping this does the same.

When I ordered this, I thought they were just going to do the seats. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they also did the door panels, and center arm rest. It really makes the interior look 100x better imho.

The work was done by Classic Soft Trim. They are a nationwide installer, and the only certified Mitsubishi leather installer. They have all the patterns for the car, so they can pretty much do anything.

So why is the two tone a slippery slope?

Dont have any firm plans to do a show car at this point, but you never know. It just depends on how things work out.

The seats are actually more comfortable then the cloth was, though I couldnt tell you why, since they are the are functionally, the same seats. I am not slipping around in them, and they still hold me tight around corners.

I wasn't happy with the cloth interior because it already detatching from the seat around the fake carbon plastic things near the head rest. In fact, I already had several staples come out. I also immediately noticed that there was already above average wear through the cloth material in the bolster closest to the door. This makes sense, since you are getting in and out of the car here. This will eventually turn into a hole, and I wasn't looking forward to that.

Zebra stripes??? Umm, thats a little out there for me ;)
