What do you guys make of this?
Whattttt. Thats boss. I wish the U.S had more of the cool features for the DAs.
Is that actually “white” leather, or Tan? In 10+ years I’ve never seen OEM white leather and I’m very skeptical.
:think: I don’t recall seeing white leather as an option in my brochures either.
On another note, why do they say ‘mileage’ in Canada. Shouldn’t it be ‘kilometrage’? (It should be a word damnit!)
I’m also sceptical, but even if it were Tan leather, then why the black interior everywhere else? Kind of odd that someone with a totally stock car would randomly decide on swapping in white leather. I’m not saying it’s legit until I see good pictures. As I have a car with factory leather door panels, I’m going to compare the stitching. He is sending me some HQ pics of the interior later today. I will let you all know what happens and share pics
posted this in “post your rare da parts”. check page 3. a member had the same interior.
Holy smokeroo… How have I never seen that. It’s on page 2 : http://forums.g2ic.com/showthread.php?143358-Post-up-your-rare-DA-DB-parts!/page2&highlight=post+your+rare+parts
In my opinion, the fact that it has the correctly stitched pattern on door and quarter panels makes me believe it is in fact a FACTORY installed option and not simply dealer installed.
If it were just the seats I’d wonder if it was just a dealer thing, but I highly doubt the dealership is going to tear out the rear interior panels to install those rear inserts. Not to mention it’s pretty impossible to “install” those leather door panel inserts too.
That is incredibly rare.
sorry, page 2! 
yeah, very rare!!! awsome! :D. i really like how the panels look with that stitching. :pupeyes:
My understanding is that the cars which have leather door panel inserts to match the leather seats are cars which came with leather from the factory. Cars which came with cloth door panel inserts and leather seats were a dealer installed leather option. I’m sure that’s not 100%, but it does make a lot of sense considering I doubt most dealers would go thru the trouble to do the entire interior as it’s a lot more labor. (just like you mentioned)
And that guy’s car is USDM so it obviously wasn’t just a Canadian thing or something.

My thoughts exactly. Personally, there is no doubt in my mind it is completely factory.
My friend has the tan leather in his 92 gs
White leather would be interesting for sure

in french we say “kilometrage”
I don’t think it’s white leather but really faded tan leather. I Personally use to have tan leather in my car and in the sun at certain angles (like this red car) would look white.
