Can't say if grain is exact, but it's certainly close enough. As for color - it is definitely close as well. there's no way to tell online. It's tough to compare even when you have 2 pieces side by side. Put it on. Nobody will know. :thumbsup:
It changes here and there too, so over a square foot it is changing. As for the color, I assume the sun might do something to it too. And they say that two batches of vinyl are never 100% the same. So, unless I got a piece of what was used for my seats and other armrests there is no way it will be 101%. :D
I am satisfied, I am beyond satisfied. Now, if I could find the right color on the paint on the outside of the car, well, that would be awesome. I have ordered more paint chips for other Chrysler products to see if they have been nice enough to choose a Chrysler product color from 1965, just not for the Dart.
The guy at the upholstery company also said that since it was the arm rest pad, it would be very hard to see any difference compared to the seat, and armrest on the other side of the car. Which I guess is true.
