I wonder how a dark green suede leather would go with a BRG MX...

I'd go a dark to medium grey, I think it would add class without too Bling (as if I can talk). It wouldn't show the dirt as easy as a tan or lighter color ( which has been done to death in show cars anyway ) and should be just different enough to be different. For extra Kudos get \"MAZDASPEED\" or something embroided the head rests in, a darker shade.

From memory there are two Blackmans. The one above does all the car dealerships, etc. Then I think there are his sons who have branched off who also to seat coverings. I used the latter and yes, they can do alcantara but it has to be special ordered in and is expensive. Alcantara is probably only good fo doing the seat edges.

No, typically you would put Alcantara on the centre of the seat (were you sit) and if you must have leather, you would put it on the edges in the high wear areas.
