Does that come at a price? $$, how about a standard stock tan vinyl?

Currently, I'm looking at between 4 & 500. But it could go up or down depending on how far I want to push this lol. No idea about a factory tan all vinyl replacement, I didn't even bother asking, I don't want all vinyl again.

I like vinyl as long as it has a real tough leather feel, not thin and cheap. I dont like plushy soft seats either.

Out here in central California, the summer heat will turn leather and vinyl the same temp as the surface of the sun. We had a nice 90° day a couple days ago and it made the seat pretty toasty just in a few hours. So a good, thick, cloth is much better to prevent 3rd degree burns to the back of my legs and my keester.

seconded, same deal up in Canada but not only do we worry about burning our arses off in the summer, we get too sit on ice blocks in the winter, nothing like going out in the morning cold only to get into a colder truck with frozen seats. No leather or vinyl seats for me, well not by choice anyways

Our winters can get pretty cold sometimes, nothing compared to other places. It usually won't drop below 26° or so, that's usually 28° or 30° is normal for a good cold winter spell. Still plenty cold enough to freeze your hide sitting on leather or vinyl.

If I don't use a windshield sun shade, I will need a skin graft to replace the bbq'd flesh from my rear end.

Hey, speaking of those sunshades, where can we get one to fit our small windshields? Todays windshields are like football fields. Gotta protect my new dash pad.

I replied but your mailbox was full.  The newer seats doesn't have a lever but lock if you have to slam on the brakes like the seatbelts do.

Your mail box is still full.  You need to delete some messages if you want responses to your PM's

Coincidently we'll be buying a refridgerator next week, i shall make one from the cardboard. Will paint one side white and cut in three sections and use gorilla tape for the folds. Should get me through. I dont mind the heat, i just dont want to melt or fade out my nice new dash pad.

I'll post pics.

You could cover it in aluminum foil and it would double as protection from the radio active mind control devices of alien spacecraft. Hahahaha.
