winning blue gt question

ok...so i did my research before asking what i thought would be a very very easy question to answer on my own but failed...

I have an 04 gt WB 8, the seats are 2 toned leather and are royal blue and black.

After 20+ pages of google images and a few of web search i concluded these seats are rare? i couldnt find one picture of blue and black seats, i couldnt even build one on mazdausa.com with those seats.

Is mine special or am i just retarded?

Sounds like your seats were recovered; the blue/black combination was not a factory option. Post up some pix.

Those look nice. Someone went to a lot of trouble to be unique.

is this something they stopped doing? I tried to find a blue 8 with blue interior in later years but was always unsuccessful.

Does your steering wheel have the blue?

Either way, it looks awesome. I wish that was an option. I wonder how much it costs to have something like that done.

steering wheel is black, but everything else of the 2 toned matches the other 8's perfectly. If this really isnt factory im glad the previous owner got that out of the way, cuz i love it

also the callibers are painted to match, quite a terrible job i might add
