What was the previous color? That looks great. How supple is the dyed leather?

my new wood trim that will allow me to perform the ash tray delete. This of course means reupholstering the door cards.

KastelikClassicCar makes door cards and I bought a set with the ash tray deleted. If needed you can find them on this forum or the internet. Product was great.

Previous color was dark gray.

As to suppleness, I'll say a couple of things. I would say they are stiffer with less flexibility than high quality furniture leather. Even compared to higher quality leather in English luxury cars (top of the line Jaguar and Rolls Royce, for example), they are firmer. I conditioned the heck out of them before coloring, and condition them regularly. So they are about as good as they are going to be, but the leather is probably more durable than supple.

That said, the dying process did not change the suppleness. The seats are as supple now as they were when I bought them.
