Me too for leather in the Bay Area!

tks!
Yep, same here, and there are probably more interested - someone could make a bundle in the Bay Area...

I'd spend $1,000 for leather in the bay area (South bay hopefully). All I've seen here is a couple of posts about an unnamed guy who just spoke Spanish. That doesn't bother me too much as long as his work is excellent.

Well, the Leaf is back in the garage; and here are some photos of the leather:

I hope these pictures post correctly; I am definitely technologically challenged, and not a photographer. I'll add my trip highlights on a subsequent post.

The elegance, great aroma, comfort make it a completely different automobile on the inside. My buddies, who ride to the golf course with me, have commented about how it is now a "real upscale machine".
evnow said:If the idea is to have as less of an impact as possible on environment, why would anyone want to have leather seats ? Leather processing is a very toxic activity i.e. even if you don't care about the animal cruelty.

derkraut, I live in San Diego too. Where did you get the leather installed and how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking? Do you have any pics?
derkraut said:marccbr said:Well, like a dummy, I erased my leather upgrade photos from Photobucket; so I can't display them here anymore. But, Skyline did a superb job for me ($1K out the door). Their particulars are listed elsewhere in this thread.

Have been trying to work out the ride down and back from SM for a couple of weeks. I plan on using them. Look forward to your report. I am interested in your thoughts on colors, as others went gray, but I am hoping to match the tan of the current cloth... But maybe not...GPowers said:GPowers said:Sounds like everyone has been very happy with Sky Line seating. ... I will post some photo when we get home.

Thanks. Indeed-the issue is that time span of 2 full days while they have Mr. LEAF. So... Once I drop the LEAF, go home via friend already planning to come up to WLA. And then, ride down, co-worker, for arrival end of work day 2. Solved.mwalsh said:JimSouCal said:Have been trying to work out the ride down and back from SM for a couple of weeks.
Down is no problem, and they'll leave the car on charge for you while they do the work. They will need it for a couple of days, IIRC. Unless you're thinking you could get it done while you wait? :?:

Makes the sears look a little more sporty and upscale.
mwalsh said:I like it. Extra cost for that?
Stitching looks dark. Is that a black or dark blue instead of matching grey?
