SMS fabric not quite the same.

I ordered some samples of fabric to match to my seat and carpet. Got them in the mail today and compared. I was kind of disappointed. The vinyl was probably the closest but still a shade off. The cloth was wrong shade and wrong pattern.

Have you checked to see what the seat upholstery offered by LMC look like in comparison?

No I have not. Do they send samples. I was just going to get some fabric if I could match and just do the bottom. Looks like I will have to buy a complete seat cover.

I might have the top two fabric samples on the wrong pictures. Even so they are not the same color or pattern.

I doubt you can get a sample. But I have used the seat cover they sell and was pleased with it.

Did you check your factory vinyl in a place that doesn't see dirt or sun? I doubt your factory seat cover is exactly the same color today that it was the day it rolled off the factory floor.
The fabric looks like they pulled the wrong stuff.
