Yeah I had them send me samples too. Ivory is what I got. It matches the lighter colored parts of the dash perfectly.

Awesome! I'll have to check that out. The suede is only offered in about 4 different shades of grey whereas that leather has LOTS of options. I am kind of torn between doing black leather/ grey suede, or going black leather/ grey perforated leather. After feeling some of the suede in the AMG cars at work, I love the stuff! The "silver" color leather looks awesome. I'm gonna ask for some samples tommorow when I get their reply from my original question. What do you guys think? leather/suede........or leather/perforated leather???

IMO I would not mess with the suede it seems it may be more of a pain on the upkeep side. I have the driftwood/ivory (I think) color combo in regular leather. It cleans up easy and it ties the seats in with the dash color scheme.

But you can judge better when you get the samples to compare the difference in the suede and the others. Let us know what you go with and don't forget the pics.

I was looking at the black leather/grey suede also. I thought it would look a little nicer and cut down on the booty sweat factor a little as well.

I thought about suede, but it's a truck and used as such, so I didn't want to take a chance and get something that would be hard to clean. That was the reason I wanted to get rid of the stain prone cloth interior.
