I'll keep my eyes open. Even if you were selling, it would make little sense since I need only one seat. I can't see anyone wanting to break up a set and decrease the value. 
Here ya go.
Type 5 Seat (Fiberglass)
F1-TY5-FRP
Regular price: $395.00
Sale price: $275.00 shipped
You Save: $120.00 (30%) pad

Too bad a set of seats costs wayyyy more than I'd spend.

For the leather itself?
How you doing this?
Getting custom covers made?
I think colored seats will look great, I always had a weekness for the Honda tan interior seats, but not that darn tan carpet...

I am either going with the burnt orange or the orange:

I am leaning toward the orange actually. I sat in an Infiniti FX with this color and I loved it. Here is a pic of it in a Lexus:
The side panels will be done in the same material. Here is a pic of some of the S2000 they did:

Wow, that will look great! I would for sure go orange, not the burnt orange.
Wow, a Berlina with a splash of color, nice.
You thinking to do the door panels too?
I'm not sure I would like the center console color matched though like the yellow S interior.
The Infiniti FX interior is f'ing beautiful...

Yes, I am really liking the orange as well. I am DEFINITELY doing the door panels too. I am going to go with the entire insert/arm rest done like in the red pic and not just the patch like the yellow.
I am going to leave everything else in the interior black.

Just got an email from the guy at leatherseats. He sent me a pic of a 350z they just did with the burnt orange and now I think I like that better than the straight orange

DO NOT decide based upon a pic! Who knows what the lighting condition was when the photo was taken, who knows what the white balence was on the camera when the pic was taken, who knows how good the color science is inside the camera used, who knows how perfectly calibrated your monitor is???? In simple terms, you can't tell shit for accurate color from a pic viewed on a computer.
TELL the guy to ship you a sample piece of each color, and not some dumb ass 1" piece. You know they got scrap, so tell him to ship the shit out!!!
Get all over his ass like I know you can.
