over the next few months, ebony will be getting a makeover. the first thing to get worked is her interior. she's getting all new carpeting, but i'm stuck on what to do with the seats. they've turned a tired black color and they either need to be redone or replaced. the fronts are getting yanked for a set of S14 seats, but should i keep the black leather or go with grey/black cloth?

the cloth is practical and easier on the skin in the summer, but more prone to getting ripped and stained.

the black leather is just plain pimp, but hot as hell in the summer heat.

i'm leaving it up to you guys.

I'm gonna go with leather, cuz it's so damn comfy.

unless you wanna do a lot of hard cornering and not slide any, it's the tits.

just park it with the top up and get some dark tint.

I think it depends on what you want. Cloth might be better if you live in a hot climate because it's more absorbant, and better than leather if you autocross/roadrace because you don't slide as much.Skirt wearing passengers will prefer leather as it's easier to slide when getting in/out of your car. Though you may get to see more leg if they're cloth (snicker) It's more personal preference. I prefer leather, so all my cars have leather, (two of my 3 have heated seats - wonderful if you live in a colder climate, and not normally available with cloth seats.Food for thought.

Some girls also complain about my leather seats, because it burns their legs when wearing skirts or shorts. But I personally love the leather and would keep it.
