FEELER ONLY!! Black on Blue leather seats

I have black on blue leather seats all around. I have hada lot of people asking about them. The dealer I bought the car from told me they were stock, but now I am hearing a lot of "no ways" It was used before me and more than likely they were lying and using it as a selling point. Anyway, here's my point, I dont want to sell them as of now, but what might you spend for them if you really wanted them? Especially the BB or WB 8's out there?

Yeah. Not stock. It looks like it was wrapped over the cloth seats. Pretty good job from what I am seeing.

A good set of New Katzkin covers are gonna run roughly $1000-$1200 depending on your connection. That is for a better then stock quality leather, that fits and looks like stock.

So used... with the guts for the seats? who knows. I think in most cases it would work as a trade for stocks. I see you have original plain black leather door panels.

I think you're right...the stock leather seats have the plastic backing on them

They are in great condition, I would sell or trade the entire set (front and rear) if I were going to get rid of them. Do you know where I could get the door panels done?

My 06 GT doesn't have a plastic backing on it and it's leather on the back.

Actually I have been doing some more research on the seats, now that I am 100% positive they are aftermarket leathers, and I am pretty sure they are Pacific Blue leather. They match perfectly though. I would say they were probably a little darker when they were new but over time they have probably faded to match.

This is only a feeler to see what people think and to see if they have been seen before. If I decide to get rid of them though, $100 and your seats still wouldn't take them, sorry.

Hm how well would pacific blue match with phantom blue? Guess they need to be side by side, I cant tell from your pic. Let me know when you take some updated ones. Btw, I'll be paypaling you tomorrow bro, let me know when your ready with your info. (not for the seats )

Thanks Alano. Just PM me when you're ready. If you do paypal today before 5pm I'll be able to get them out and you should get em by like maybe tuesday next week. (UPS Doesnt ship on the W/E) Send me a pic of your car, I have a lot of other pics but it just takes too long to put them up. I'll put the pics together via photo shoop or something and post it.
