Red would have been my preference too for my black GP, but I opted to go with the original pearlescent white. Recently started recieving my parts from SMS. They're building it all from samples I sent them. I fear they've thrown out all my old stuff as I didn't ask them to send it back to me...D'oh!!! (hope I can get buttons somewhere) I've looked real hard and can't find anything else to complain about though, looks REAL nice. Can't wait to see the rest of it, door panels and stuff.
I was hoping you'd see this Ken. (I got the Strato bench from Ken)
Nice covers you got from SMS. They look excellent.
I'm sure you can find buttons, but if not, let me know. The guy who did my seats seems to have access to endless supplies so I am betting there is some out there.
I'm looking forward to seeing those installed in our car.

I'm sure SMS will do whatever you want as long as you send them your originals. It was the only way I could source canadian door panel patterns was to have them made from scratch. Mine were just too dried out and sunburnt to use.
i you dont mind can u advise the aprx price of the seat covers and door panels..(did u do front and back panels)?? and the aprox time frame involved?

Oh Wow again! Big green tears of envy are running down my flabby cheeks as I look over Carls strato bench and Cheviacs white buckets setup. Gotta get mine redone like that. Hopefully we'll see how they turn out in Black!
