Satellite Grey

Hey Folks,

Just thought I'd throw some helpful information out there for everyone. I splurged on the satellite grey leather seats and I'm very happy with them; I think they look fantastic. That said, they get dirty very easily. I'm not rough on my vehicle interiors at all but these seats will pick up dirt & scuffs from anything. If you wear dark jeans, it will show on the material. I've had grey leather seats before and it's never been this bad. I attached some photos to give everyone an idea.

Should you go with this option, buy some leather cleaner and be prepared to use it frequently. I haven't conditioned the seats yet, so maybe that will make a difference.

-Matt

I'm usually not a fan of light colored seats but those contrast the rest of the interior beautifully! I like that look!

I have the Sat Grey leather seats and so far, no problems with them. Mind you, I am the only driver, and often it's me alone in the car. I have cleaned them once with cleaner, but they are not showing much soil at this time. I really like the look of them, and worth the extra effort IMO.

Thanks. I also went with the Anthracite headliner and Dark Cottonwood trim (attached, sorry for the crappy smartphone picture). I think it's pretty sharp.

That cottonwood looks very nice. Especially with the anthracite headliner.

This thread has reminded me that I need to take some good pics of mine for everyone to see, especially those mulling over a purchase and want to see different combinations of options.

I took the defaults on the interior but did add the punch black leather. I do like that Dark Cottonwood trim, I may regret not getting that.

Hey Matt, can we get another pic of the cottonwood with satellite grey trim. I loooovee the cottonwood. Is the satellite grey that light of a grey (almost white) or is the lighting?
