Converting to leather
First, let me clear the air by affirming my manhood...
My wife hates leather but I love it soooo, tough frikkin crap. She'll get used to it or someone else can ride with me. Yea I said it, I said it!
Ok, now onto my question. I've been considering converting the interior of my 99 Formy to leather. I know the seats, door panels and probably the console need to get done but is the dash or any other part of the car different in a leather car?

I swapped in a complete 93 TA interior in my Z28 including the dash. The car i got it out of was a Graphite Leather car and the dash is covered in a Graphite Vinyl/leather. I have a 97+ console and i believe they are all the same. Depending upon what color interior you get i maybe able to get you some reproduction Leather like Vinyl cheaper than you can anywhere else, if you decide to just recover your old seats. The stock Leather seats are vinyl in at least 50% of the cover anyways. Pm' me if you are interested.

Thanks everyone. I'll be keeping the same interior color (charcoal) or possibly using black since the dash is black anyway.
99Formula... when (and if) I do this, I'll make sure to contact you first. My seats are mint but I just like the feel of leather so much better.
