Need everyone's opinion on the interior leather I'm getting done by Doyles to my car on order. Apologies about the photos which you will find in the garage however they were taken from a magazine of a job that Doyles have done to a CJ Lancer - Anyone's??? I am getting the same style and colour leather which is black/charcoal however I will be getting blue stitching. I don't know if I should just get the outside of the seat and head rest stitching coloured blue and leave the rest normal or do the whole seat in blue stitching which would obviously show up in every groove. It might look good, it may look crap but let me know what you all think. Thanks

I think it would look great. I am getting all-black, with probably tan stitching, through Shadows ( a vendor on this site ). If it will compliment your exterior colour (with accent stitching) then yes...

Good luck with it.

The flutes (the lines through the middle of those seats in sections) are quite disgusting and if i were you i would not be getting it done, to add to that they are running the wrong way on the seat and it makes the seats look like they are out of a 1970's falcon.

Personally i would boot stitch (where you have two lines of stitching running adjacent to eachother either side of the seem) the outsides only and if you are determined to have flutes from a 70's model falcon placed in an 07+ cj then i would get them to leave the stitching black or charcoal depending on the colour of the leather.

Post up pics when its done.

jhiace - Godd pont on the boot stitching, that would look good. Another good point about the 70's falcon look.

It should look good when it's done - Black/Blue always make a good combo ;)
