What i want is a somewhat custom interior but with good quality leather... but the color im looking for is like a dark orange brown... think of the color and style of the interior of black Bently Continental GTs...

for starters, anyone know the exact color of that? and where can i get that leather for my tc??
anyone know of DIYs or shops that cater to this?? any information is appreciated...
thanks!

 

the leather bentley used is (was) made by connolly, who is chapter 11. leather is sold by the hide and a huge b*tch to work with. the biggest piece of leather can only be as big as the biggest cow. There are companies that your dealer works with who do after market leather, and they do it with kits. the kits are pre-made by cheap foreign labor and typically you can get whatever material you want, and they'll prolly have something close to the burnt orange. the place my dealership in austin, texas uses is called classic soft trim:

HOWEVER, leather costs upwards of $1000, and for that kind of cash, get suede covered racing seats and spend another $100 getting the rears done in matching suede, or similar fabric that's cheaper/easier to work with.

 

You could look into getting Katzkins leathers

 

Katzkins FTW!

yeah but katzkin stuff doesn't fit well, it's overpriced, and you STILL have to find someone to install it proper and that'll cost you hundreds more dollars. Get nice seats.

 

Every kit I've ever seen fits great! and Yeah, you can install it... It will just take you some time to learn exactly what you are doing, but you can do it on your own... We did an xB and it wasn't to awefully hard...
