autoleathers.com has custom RX-8 leather interiors

I have no affiliation with these people. I'm just wanted to see if anybody would buy the set and post up pics It seems like they make a quality product, and I've been checking to see if they would make RX-8 kits. Just today I noticed that the RX-8 was added.

The RX-8 kit covers the front and rear seats (with headrests) along with door inserts. Anybody with cloth seats want an upgrade?

I take delivery of my 8 in a couple of weeks - cloth seats. (I don't like the leather design and don't want all the other crap that comes with the grand touring pkg). I checked out the autoleather.com site (thanks), but could not get past the "do you have factory leather" window. I saved to favorites and will try it again later. I would like to see what designs/colors they have and if it is all-leather or just leather trimmed.

It works for me (netscape 7). They do present the options in a confusing manner though (or maybe its just me). If you want to see what their pattern for the RX8 looks like I think you have to correspond - their online pics are generalizations. Once you get to the point of having selected color(s) you're prompted to enter contact info so they can get back to you.

They seem to be good with inquiries. I had a question about the color selection and it was answered promptly.

I ended up arranging the re-upholstery through my dealer but did seriously consider going the do-it-yourself route with this Co.

I feel the same way about the GT package, didn't need or want all the other stuff just to get leather -- especially the loss of 1.5" of headroom with the mandatory moonroof.

Now that you can get custom leather with custom inserts, I am feeling the same way about getting the GT package.

1. I will be replacing most of my Bose system so that was a waste.

2. I like the Moonroof but probably would like the headroom more.

3. I can't get the homelink to work. (my gate opener is very simple)

4. Heated seats are nice but I'm in Houston Texas.

5. The heated mirrors work well.

6. The power seat is nice but probably not nessary. Also I think you can get the manual seat to go down a little further.

Anyway, I could have saved a bunch of cash and gotten a custom leather interior instead.

Oh, well live and learn.
