Legendary- not exactly

agreed, BUT they shouldn't purport to have the real deal. My friend had a low miles 71 Challenger w. gold colored vinyl interior, and he wanted to freshen up the front seats. The color was several shades off, the "pebble grain" was different, and some of the other detail stuff mentioned by OP. I know he went round and round, back and forth with them. I don't know if it ever got it resolved to his satisfaction.



those side bolsters look horrible in post #1 Wayyyyyy too small. the welt should go to the sides of the seat. I'd send them back with some pictures even the ones you took on here could work. Or have them send you a yard of matching vinyl and have a good trim shop match your older pattern, as for the silver welt I've seen rolls of it somewhere so it's available but it's be a custom order.

On the shade variation it's common to have different shades, unless it's on the same batch lot. I help cutting out vinyl patterns and carpet for 60's lincolns and know that the boss has a ***** of a time matching vinyl to leather to Windlace and welt. We end up spraying dye on 50% of the vinyl to bring the shade into a match (or close) with the leather/welt/Windlace combo. and unless you go to SMS fabric (IF they have it available) and get NOS vinyl you won't get the exact grain since they don't make it anymore. Colonial or Sierra grain isn't the same today as it was even 20 years ago.

here we had to match the heel pad to the carpet.

here we were matching a welting on to the original color that had the same color code. but the 2 different color batches drove the customer crazy and we were able to find a batch that actually worked.

And to make matters worse .try this combo. red ostrich and gator(that set is going to India) so no leather here. It was a complete set of seat covers carpet,door panels and Windlace. Talkabout headache making the pattern to match.
