New Seats in the 8?
Sorry if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything in my search.

Are they puting a new type seat in the 8? I saw this picture on eBay and it looks like it's a different seat. No grey plastic back.

Those seats do look like leather, but they don't have the ribbed vinyl on the sides and center. Maybe it's an aftermarket leather job???

Those seats look really good. Do you have any idea how much it would cost to get my factory black leather seats changed to custom leather seats?

Why has no one ever complained about the narrowness of the seats? I am not a fat guy, and knew when i bought the car, I was going to put up with this, but geez, any good German car or Volvo for that matter seems to have wider but bolstered seats. I dont think there is room for them if you put them in the Mazda though.

I have cloth seats and love them; the suede-like microfiber inserts with the ribbed cloth trim pieces make a great combination, but they are bland. I would like to see someone make a similiar feel material in two tone; like black/red. and keep the ribbed material that is in the trim. I dunno, just my preference.

rxtreme--the closest thing you could have done is get a suedeskin insert in different colors and maybe keep the existing cloth--I don't know how difficult this would be as it would require butchering the existing seat covers. You'd have to give Katzkin a call. www.autoleathers.com
