Second gen reupholstry pattern

Does anyone have any suggestions for finding the upholstry patterns for the FC? That would include door panels, possibly dashboard paneling, and door handles, and ceiling.

Exclamation Do what any upholstery shop would do....

Take apart your existing (seats, door panels), and use the existing covers as a template for the new material.

Better, go you your local Mazda dealer's parts department, and find out where they send THEIR cars for upholstery repair. That upholstery shop will probably give you best price because of the referal, and certainly you'll have confidence that they have experience on your particular need.

Been there, done that, worked our absolutley excellent.

Hm, see, we have all these leather hides and me and my girlfriend were kinda hoping to do the fitting ourselves... Do you think these people you mentioned would just give me the patterns?

I mean, I dig your idea of the extracted pattern, but the FC door panels are kinda unwieldy that way. But maybe it's the only way.
