Group buy for Custom Leather Interior.

[Crazytaxi37]

The folks over at GAGT are running a group buy on Aftermarket Leather. I was wondering if any of us over here would like to do the same thing. Here is the information.

This is the company that they are going through

http://www.nwautoleather.com/

Here is some info on the company:

We are an aftermarket custom leather interiors manufacturer. Our leather is Top Grain, (not split) Monza-H Grain Mercedes leather, and comes with a three year or 60,000 mile warranty. We ship worldwide, and have done successful Group Buys with other forums such as NSXPrime.com and Newtiburon.com. We would like to note that 100% of the seating surfaces on our covers is leather. This is important because many companies offer "full leather interiors" which can be up to 70% vinyl!!!

Ok. Here goes.



If you are interested please post up. All that tx return money has gotta be burning a hole in your pockets.

Thanks

what colors?

[2ndAlero]

I read the thread on GrandAmGT.com and got some information. They sound and look like a good company.

Only problem is I'd like to see a sample of the leather to color match.

I DO (100%) want leather seats and have the money in hand and ready to do this. I have been working with AutoLeathers.com to get what I want, but would be more than willing to go with a group buy here as their leather content is much better and they are a OEM supplier as well.

[Naich]

the price includes both front and rear seats, headrests I presume... and what else? Can you get the stitching to stand out?

[Oldsman]

so does that include the all the seats??

what about the stitching, any specs on size and amount of letter and color?

[nex]

can u get just the back seat? and does this include the little pads or sides beside the seat?

[Crazytaxi37]

Sorry guys, I spoke a little too soon on the pricing. Hopefully Kim will post up what she can do for us.

[quitlahok]

this stuff always comes up when i have no money.. sheesh

Hello Everyone
This is Kim from Northwest Autoleather here and I just thought I'd introduce myself and let you know that I am more than happy to help you out with any questions you may have. I have attached some pics to give you guys an idea of what we are capable of. This thread is here just to see how much interest there is for a group buy; we will not provide pricing until we know that there are enough interested members. We offer over embroidery, perforation, colored stitching, seat heaters, preferred suede, etc. If any of you would like more details, please post or email me directly.
Cheers
Kim

Hello Kim.... I am the owner of this site, and I am interested in this. I have several questions.

I have factory leather seats, which are starting to wear out. My questions are:

1) Do you have maroon and light tan leather? Is your leather dyed by you, or do you buy it already colored? Is there a color chart?

2) For installation, do you strip the old stuff off the seats before your put these on, or do they go over the original seat material?

*topic pinned*

[dopey]

could u ball park a figure for 2tone interior so people know have an idea what kinda money we are talkin about

[Homer]

Niach: Our leather is imported from Europe, and is dyed there. it is Mercedes leather, and it's sister company produces BMW's leather. We are in the process of putting in a color chart on our website, but it is not there yet. Please let me know what colors you are interested in, and I will post pics. Our covers are replacement covers, and the originals must be removed and our's installed. Yes, we have a tan and maroon that may be what you are looking for. if we do not have a leather color you are interested in, we can order it, but this can sometimes be expensive, depending on the color. Please email me directly and I will sned you a pic taken of all the reds we have access to.
As far as pricing, we sell our Alero covers for $695US, and group buys tend to have a discount of up to $100 + we include things such as colored stitching, door panels, two tone, etc.

[2ndAlero]

Ugh... lost my post somehow.

Kim: If I give you GM factory color names, can you tell me if you have a color that matches? My interior is Pewter, and my exterior is Ruby Red. I'd like seats which are two toned pewter (outside), red (inside). I also want two seat heaters. You can add me to a list if you are making on here like on GrandAMGT.com. I'm set, have the cash in hand and set aside as this was my spring project for this year.

Everyone else: You should read the thread on GrandAMGT.com... do a search for "group buy" and take a read.

[Homer]

2ndAlero: We have access to all of the GM leathers, but you must understand that it is not the Mercedes leather, it is GM leather. The quality is not quite as good as the leather we use, but if you would like something to match your interior, we can get it. Is you interior Medium Pewter, Medium Dark Pewter, Medium Dark Pewter 2, or Very Dark Pewter?? Those are all the colors available for your vehicle. You can check out the links to the group buys we have done
here (http://www.grandamgt.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=32045&goto=newpost), here (http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=438), and here (http://forum.zr2.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=24&t=000038)

Kim:
Yeah, I have Ruby Red as well... I'll post a picture of what the color is, so you can get a idea. I'd like something similar to Ruby Red on the outside and tan in the middle... probably with some embroidery of either Aleromod.com's logo or the Oldsmobile logo.

[dopey]

[99ALERO]

[Naich]

you strip off your old seat covers and use the new ones.... they don't go over the stock seats or anything. This is the only way to go for a good looking finish.

[Crazytaxi37]

Of course you know I'm in......

[Naich]

I'm most likely in, as long as there is a color I like for the red and I can wait for my tax return :)

[nex]

well im in as long as i can just order the backseat and does this include the side things for the backseat?

[dopey]

i doubt u will be able to order just the back.............

and in order to recover those side pads u would have to remove them and recover them urself..... its not considered part of the actual seatcover

[keytonic]

I'm definently interested. Just depends on how soon the money is needed.

[quitlahok]

beats the other prices i've seen, i wish i had the money now.... any idea how long this will be going?

[Homer]

Seems as though there is lots of interest pretty fast! I will speak to the boss and get back to you with pricing. The closing date would most likely be the tenth of May, or around there. Sound good?
Cheers
Kim

[-Alero-]

hmmph, so we order what we want from you and then we install the seat covers ourselves? oh yeah and can you get a custom encription like your name on the seats or something like that?

[Crazytaxi37]

They do do custom embroidary so, Kim should have some pricing on that when she's on next. I know that I need custom Embroidary. OK, I can't spell that word.

[OLDSskool]

FAWK! Id be in if I could figure out what Color I would want.. LoL.. I have a horrible color interior for this stuff.. hahahaha

What about the Headrests??

[StockAlero00]

I took an interest in this, and I automatically went to check out the site. I have noticed there is no link for the alero yet, just the intrigue. Now i'm sure that some of the other oldsmobile can be fitted on the alero seat too, but just to have a good clean fit. Also do you have any links, or any commentary that people who have bought your leatherseatcovers , and how they thought of the pricing,quality, business everything. thanks. I'd like to talk to some of your customers and see if they were happy with everything all around.

[Crazytaxi37]

Kim has told me that they do have the pattern for the Alero. Wonder where she ran off to.

[99ALERO]

im still interested! I just need to find someone to do the work for me lol. What kind of payments or payment are we to expect?

[StockAlero00]

Is there a payment plan available?

[99ALERO]

I was watching Horse Power TV and they put on new Leather seat covers on a Mustang I believe and It looked pretty simple to do. The guy said a normal kit would take 4 hrs to install if your doing it for the first time. IM VERY INTERESTED NOW

[Homer]

Payment options are Visa and Mastercard. Send me an email to let me know you are interested, and towards the end of the group buy I'll contact you to let you know what kind of pricing you are looking at. Any questions, let me know! I'm off 'till Thursday and I'll get back to you then.
Cheers
Kim

[2ndAlero]

Kim:

I want to match the colors of my interior. Since you don't have color samples that I can look at, would it be possible to send you two small pieces of my interior (I'm thinking nothing bigger than 5x5x5 inches) that have the colors I'm looking for?

I can send you a trim ring from my hazard button and a vent opening or something like that.

This is my only hangup... I just want the colors to match well to the interior of my car. I'd love to get the seat heaters as well.

Thanks!

[Naich]

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as 2nd Alero (in fact, we would probably get almost the same thing)... I want to make sure the burgandy and tan are pretty close to the right colors.

[whitetrash]

I'm in if u can do sky blue and black.

[Homer]

"whitetrash": We have a navy blue and the blue found in the pic below in stock.
"2ndAlero": Please send us the color. Email me for the address if you do not already have it.

[OLDSskool]

So who wants to sell me their good condition 2dr neutral (tan) leather interior?? :D

[bnight04]

I would need to see the color chart when you get one on your site. If you have the color that i am looking for then i would most likely be in too.

Thinking Black(outisde) and Tan(inside) to match the inside of my car
:blink:

[Homer]

Email me with your address and i can send you samples if you like. You guys need to pass the info around on this group buy! These group buys always work the best when members are gauging the interest of other members! It's more money saved for you guys!

Is this thing dragging on, or are we closing it out on the 10th of May?

I still need to get colors set for my car... Kim sent me their address to send off some parts, so I don't think I'd be done before the 10th.

Do we have a count on this thing or not? Who's in? Me, Crazy, and Naich? Anyone else? I'd love a discount on this setup... but we need people!

[Crazytaxi37]

Well, I'm sorry to have to do this but, I can't. My alero has been blowing up left and right lately and I've acrued a few bills that have to be taken care of first. Again, my apologize.

Crazy

[Homer]

2nd Alero: Yes, we can still close it on May 10th if you like, it's up to you. Northwest will still offer some discount to those of you who would like to purchase of course. It mat not be as large as you like, but at least it's something!
Cheers
Kim

[02 Blck GLS]

Seems like the interest isn't that high for definites....I really just noticed this. What is the closing date? Are you still looking at today...the 10th? Also, what's the normal price withoput groupbuy? If I missed it I'm sorry. plus I am totally lost what colors to do. I have a black coupe with the tan interior with that brown highlights you know......keeping the interior stok colors

[FormulaNERD]
