Default Grey Green Leather

I finally have some grey green leather. Here's a pic showing the sample we used to have it made against a seat kit we made from it.

for those interested:

I have in this grey green leather:

1 pair of rear quarters $200
1 rear center console $100
1 pair of rear seat side pieces (not seats but the round pcs in between the seats and the quarters) $50

and some other misc......

I don't know how hard this stuff is to get, but PM me if interested.

Rob, for future reference, take color pics with a color neutral background (white, black, grey). Your camera compensated for the bright green background making the leather look brown.

Russ, for future reference, non-sponsor/vendors have been banned before for highjacking Rennlist sponsor/vendors' sales related threads.

Or take the picture with sample piece on white surface.
We all know what white looks like and each computer monitor displays color in its own wierd way.

Gray Green is very cool.
Liked the funky Grey Green on Guards Red in the other thread.

I guess you've never seen a greygreen interior. It is one of the top 5 interior colors in any 928. It looks nothing like the pic above.

Yeah I saw it on a mega mile S4 a couple years ago. It didnt look terrible as it had a similiar exterior color.

All you grey green interior guys my apologies. But it dosent do it for me, all the power to you for embracing it.

I must be missing something, but I don't see what the big deal is. We can have any color custom dyed from a sample.

I just had the two main colors for a Weissach custom dyed. What is so special?
