I have some dark grey samples coming with my recent purchase... Hit me up with your address and I'll send some grey samples and you can see if they match. I haven't found anyone around here with grey interior to compare.

I believe the stock hurst shifters have the H stamped into the leather... I could be wrong... With recovering its possible you may lose that. Also, it may end up costing more for a recover and shipping on something like that than a brand new one could cost... I think they are like ~$70 new?

Once my leather shipment gets here I'll send you and ShortChevy a sample, I'd like to see how close they got with the dye.

Shoot me a pm with ya'lls addresses and I'll stick it in the mail when it arrives.

Also, just found out I can get Alcantara suede.... The price for that option could be considerably higher...

Pretty much any color... The red looks awesome. But can get it perforated also...

Looks awsome man, I'm looking forward to the sample. I think if you became a sponser here you could make some pretty decent money and fill all of your spare time...right. Because everyone has so much spare time...

On a side note did you ever come up with something for makeing the wheels a little thicker?

I did, I'm going to experiment with mine this weekend... I plan on adding
1/4" padding (memory foam) and enhancing the grips...

Update... I found a supplier of actual GM leather, foam, and thread less than a mile from my house... Now I'm able to exactly match any color if I need too...

Did some research on the Alcantara and regular suede... I definately wouldn't recommend this for daily use... doesn't seem to hold up very well. I'll be tearing mine apart and redoing it tonight and tomorrow so ya'll can see the basic process...

While I would definately not recommend real suede for daily use , Alcantara micosuede would definately handle the wear and tear of a daily driven car . It just requires a proper general maintenance to stay looking new . Washing with soap and water or a 50/50 solution of alcohol and water misted on and wiped off , followed by brushing with a soft brush to maintain the texture once a month should be more than suffcient . Its not real suede so hand oils and getting it wet do not ruin it .

I would only use it if u can find real alcantara ( the brand name ) or the microsuede ( I believe they call it ultralux ) GM has been using on the seats in the trailblazer SS , Malibu LT and cobalt SS . The cheaper microsuedes just dont have the same durabilty and the texture doesnt look nearly as good . The GM ultralux should beable to be attained out of the detroit book . They sell every material for any vehicle manufactured in North America and they can search by specific model and vehicle year ...so u can get exactly what your looking for .

http://www.detroitbodyproducts.com/ .....theres their site , should be of some help to you . Opened many doors for me as far obtaining very secific materials I wanted use while maintaining perfect color match to GM F-body interior colors .

I have a supplier for actual Alcantara. If it's properly taken care of it can last and look nice, it's just going to be applied to something that will constantly be touched, so it definately needs to be cleaned properly often.
