Best match for factory Tan/Beige leather seat covers?
I've searched and see names like Lseat.com, leatherseats.com, Ridies, Katzkin, Roadwire, and a few more.
Does anyone have pictures and reviews of recently redone leather seats (tan/beige)? I'm mainly looking to see comparisons vs factory color and texture.
Thanks in advance.

^I have the same question, and ordered leather swatches from all of the above vendors - none of them really match well with the OEM FD tan leather in terms of color and/or texture. If you find something that does, please share.
The tan leather seat skins sold by RX7.com look like they might be a good match, at least on their website pictures. Need to see if they can send me a swatch sample to see for real.

I'll definitly let you know what I find out.
I called rx7.com and spoke to Ari. He was super helpful and I'm just waiting to hear back regarding current options, pricing and lead time.
I just spoke to Ari at RX7.com as well. While he didn't have any leather swatches to send my way, he was able to take a few pictures of the new tan leather covers on top of OEM tan seats in an FD. The OEM tan seats have pretty normal wear & tear, and color is a bit darker shade than the new covers - but some of that darkness may be just leather age & grime. Here's the pictures...
FWIW, this is probably the best OEM tan color match I've seen so far. A bit lighter than OEM here, but light color leathers typically darken a bit with age. Texture has a bit more grain showing than the OEM leather, which is super smooth, but I'd be OK with that.
