I saw a picture of a production P5 that had color-matched interior, not too sure if it was a JDM one or a Euro one.....if anyone knows, please enlighten me, as I want to import some of those parts.

 

i got a p5 yellow with leather matching interior

 

so i can show you

 

did yours come stock like that? I am just looking for the door panels......But if i can get stock color matched seats from a junkyard.....HELL YEAH!

 

Mine also came with the car from the dealership

 

can you inquire at a Canadian dealership for me? They dont have it here in the states.....just the door panel and dash stuff.

 

I've asked before & they won't release that info

Have you checked http://www.katzkin.com? They make almost identical leather interiors. They may do the doors too.

 

have you tried acting like you just ripped yours and you need new ones? If it comes as a factory option in Canada, then you should just be able to order the factory part. If not, that is RETARDED!!!

 

It's not a factory option. The leather is installed by a third party here in the city, thus, no part number. If I were to have a problem, they'd send the car out & give me a loaner.

 

AAAHHHH!!!! That is why no one here in the US has even HEARD of it.......well I got a quote form a local apholstery place for $25 /door, if I take the panels off myself...it wont be leather of course, the the rest of my car isnt, so it would look outta place, Is it hard to remove tha panels? On my other cars it was easy, but this one has a warranty, and I dont want to **** that up by breaking the panels.

 

That's interesting. Not long ago, I actually came across pics of a yellow Protege5 displayed in a car show (sitting on its own ?rotating? display) in the States that had the same leather as mine.

I wonder why they never released it in the States.

 

They never "released" it in Canada either.

Your leather is NOT a factory job - it is an aftermarket custom interior.

So there is nothing to be "released" - and anyone can have the same job, they just have to go get it done.

On another note - I was in touch with Katzkin (www.leatherseats.com) a long while back about leather for my car. They were VERY helpful and friendly, and suggested that the Protege seats are one of the easiest to do yourself. If it needed to be done professionally, they'd recommend it, but they said anyone who is decent at DIY projects should be able to install the leather on our cars. I believe they quoted me about $700 for the seats (two-color), door inserts, and installation kits needed for both.
