    Dandy, let me know if you wanna sell your seats, I still need complete 93LE seats, dash, and door panels.
    I probably will sell my seats, Phat. My engine swap plans are getting a little more concrete. When that happens there will be no turning back, so it should be easier to let things go.

    I didn't realize you still needed parts. I thought you had three of everything by now. I really like your idea of the silver NA wide-body. The Photoshop that Jimmy Vee did is one of my favorites. I'm rooting for that one.

    I have another set of LE seats that I will be recovering soon. I can't wait until that gets done!

    I can tell you that the swatch color is the true color. I have the skins and the swatch matches. I've had them against my original 93LE seats and can vouch that the color is a pretty close match. I know what you mean about the pictures. The lighting can be deceiving. I'll see if I can get a picture of the skins against my seats in the car in the next day or two.

    Leatherseats.com was really good to work with too. They were straight forward and helpful when I spoke to them on the phone. I asked for and they sent about a foot of extra material that I plan to use for door pull straps.

    My OEM LE seats will be available sometime in the next couple of months after I get the new skins on the 95M seats. The passenger seat is near perfect. The drivers seat does have some bolster wear but it can be repaired for a lot less than the cost of new skins. I haven't been putting much seat time in lately so it hasn't been a priority for me. Of course I'm down here on this east coast peninsula and you're all the way over on the west coast so shipping bulky items like seats is not going to be greenback friendly.
    I would be glad to take the seats if the shipping wont kill the excitement.

    I do sorta, but different colors, LOL. I have complete NA6 Interior in Tan, and Black both in great shape, but for the 93LE parts all I have is the carpet, seat belts, and seat belt trim panels. I can have Nakamae create complete doors but that is big bucks, Im trying to save some money ya know.

    Dude, you could always just make up your mind and sell or trade some of your stash (cars, parts, hot wheels, etc.), stop paying rent on your multiple warehouses, or start charging admission and let all the geeks in to admire your collections. With your profits you could pay someone to build a car to match your vision, not have to devote your time away from other interests and responsibilities, and truly have a one of a kind masterpiece. Done right on the right platform and that car could end up exceeding the value of the LE that doesn't get driven in order to keep the odometer under 10k. I say go silver before you turn silver.

    Of course this advice comes from a guy who continues to buy stuff but moves slower than a snail when it comes to the actual build. I just really want to see the silver NA that I've seen photoshopped come to life.

    Phat giving up buying parts would be equal to a lifetime addict not using drugs if locked behind the pharmacy counter.

    Ha Ha Ha the guilty pleasures of life. It's the travel not the destination. I'm no where close to what you guys have accomplished but don't we all have the same needs at a different level? I started with a project 1994 then got another supercharged 1994 then another 1995 rolling shell all white miatas. Along with a stash of got to have miata stuff....a complete Tan interior for a planned BRG build and now a complete Red interior (thanks to 93miatale, door cards where the last missing pieces) for a planned LE build. Depending on which seat I get done first on either of the m-edition seats then that build will take off. LOL how did I get here I ask myself earlier well the sequence of events.....sold the 2002 s2000, sold the 2006 NC, stopped smoking, eliminated gambling, stopped the pointless travel vacations, lessened eating out and then the grandiose vice of them all started.....miata building lol. Anyways I'm much healthier, poorer but happier. Hah am I?

    I don't want to be cured. I appreciate you enabling my JDM parts habit. In fact, I only seeing my addiction becoming more rampant in the coming months. I've sold much of what I had squirreled away and now I need to restock and overstock.

    Is two Nielex tombstones too many?
