I was considering ordering this product until I had the following email conversations with Kim regarding my thoughts on some leather samples they sent me. I have talked with Steve a lot and seems cool, but Kim gets on my nerves..:

Spoke to Steven already thanks. The leather is too grainy and rough for my taste. Was hoping for leather more similar to the stock leather in the NSX, which is much smoother. I understand you are saying that it became smooth from wear and tear, but I don't think that is the case as the leather on my door inserts have zero wear and tear and are smooth, soft and supple. Steven is trying to get me the leather that comes on the new Infiniti (Nissan) products. Still waiting to hear back from him. Thanks in advance.

I believe your door panels are smoother because it is vinyl. We had some older NSX seats in here and checked out the spots where the leather was not worn, and it had alot of grain.

My door inserts are leather. I also checked my seats in areas where they were never used and it is smooth as butter. The leather on the NSX is not grainy at all. In fact, I visited some dealers this weekend to see which leather to request with you guys. I decided on the Infiniti leather, but also saw a new NSX at Acura. The leather was not grainy what so ever. So you tell me.

Well, I guess I'm confused then, because I looked right at the leather on the NSX and saw the difference, but none of this matters. You are now dealing with Steven and I hope everything goes well!!!

Don't know who is confused, but I look at this interior every day....Pretty confident on this end.

That's great. I'll have my eyes checked. The NSX guys were the first to ever have a problem with the grain, and I think most of it came from one guy which made everyone else worry. Either way, our leather is of the best quality and Mercedes and BMW also seem to be happy with it, but Steven will get you what you want and is always happy to help. You have a great day!!

I am not arguing the quality of the leather. However it is a style preference. People who drive Mercedes and BMW are happy with all the wood grain trim in their interior, but doesn't mean I want that in my NSX either

Good for you, I hope you're happy with whatever you choose. I do not have the time to argue, so please do not email me anymore as I have work to do.
