Question Leather Seat Re-Covers for the Eight-Who Makes The Best??

Who does 'em for the 8?
I didn't want the factorypackage they came in,
I didn't want the sunroof w its 2" loss of headroom,as I'm about 6'2" with mah shoes on
But,if I can recover mine,so much the better,solid black'd be nice.
(That's possibly the only gripe I had:The inability to order leather ala' carte-)

Gracias!

I had the same dilemma...I too didn't want to sacrifice nearly 2" of headroom for a sunroof that I would hardly ever use in order to get a leather interior. I'm 6'5" and the 8 fits me like a glove without the sunroof (i.e. no head bumpin' on the roof...insert own joke!). My dealer hooked me up with a leather interior from Classic Soft Trim. I've got a Black 8 and got the black and silver combo (black trim with silver middle and door panel leather. The quality of the leather is much better than the factory IMO (thicker and softer). I paid $900 including installation. My dealer didn't charge me for installation so it might cost about $200 more if you're not able to make a deal.
