Default interior help please

while I'm actively attacking the motor, I'm taking the time to plan the interior. I have samples from TMI, SCAT, and Corbeau, and you guessed it, none of them match, not even close. I like the feel of the Corbeau seats, but realistically speaking SCAT would be the easiest and less complicated set up since they carry the kit for the back seat in the same material. Knowing the Elite 1100 will bolt right in, I like the feel of the Elite 1200's. Does the thigh cushion of the 1200 get in the way of the steering wheel? Remember, the seat pan puts the seat in a slight recline lifting the front. For those of you who redid your interiors (other than black), how did you go about it, and what's the best approach to getting a matched interior?

easier said than done guys.... I was looking at the Elite 1100, the Elite 1200, and the Corbeau GTSII seats. the seat makers do not match interior colors, but rather offer only a few colors. So the question, how do you match the door panels, and rear quarter panels, and roof one piece to match the buckets and rear seats? What I'm seeing, SCAT procar setup is the most cooperative of the bunch, providing a matching seat and rear seat cover, along with per-yard material to recover door panels and quarter panels. TMI does not match SCAT in the panels, which means to it would be necessary to order extra materal to recover the door panels from SCAT on my own. Again, I'm asking folks who've done this and the do's and don'ts to buiding a matching interior from seperate vendors.

I am a TMI dealer. I know for a FACT TMI will put whatever you want on it. If you handed them 5 yards of levis material and told them to put that on it they WILL. I have done it. I have had several concours trailered gold mca cars. i have done this for a million years, i know what i am talking about.

I guess I'm not being clear, sorry. You answered my question, I would have to send the seats, or send the material and have all covered to match, either the seats to match the panels, or the panels to match the seats. Thanks
