Do you have a picture? I'd love to see them. How much was the option? Is that in your CR MCS?

If not a picture, at least what part is cloth and what part is leather?

is this going to be new for 2005?

I've seen the quality of the leather slammed pretty hard in some threads. Is it supposed to be any better?

I was very worried too but using a small sponge for the edges has worked great! Just don't try to use any conditioner that comes in spry, use the one that comes as a cream
