Default Suede Seats

Who has two-tone seats (leather on the outside and suede on the inside?) I'm thinking of doing this but i hear suede fades pretty bad over time. I've seen Porsche's with it and some racing seats but i'm not sure if it's a good idea. I would probebly be going with the company Apache so i would love some info. I have a link of the GB and a pic of one of our members with black/silver suede. Some input would be helpful. Thanks.

I don't think I'd go with real suede for that application; try Alcantara.

do alcantra or ultra suede...it looks just like suede but will last alot longer...ultra suede is actually alot better with stains too if u do get anything on them. the centers of mine are done in ultra suede...2 years now and they look good as new. heres a crappy picture but u get the idea.

Silk on the boards has suede inserts in his seats. Maybe he'll chime in when he sees this thread.

Thanks for the input. How much did your seats run you if you don't mind me asking? And where did you get them done at? I'm thinking of also doing my headliner.
