Mark your car looks great. Don't know if you're aware of Original Auto Interiors-810-727-2426. Always wished I'd gone the original route. They have a web at www.originalauto.com-Good luck.

My experience was to do business with both vendors. SMS seems to be the only supplier of BRAND NEW factory-correct fabric, whereas OAI was best for supplying a durable vinyl with the correct embossed grain (if that is important to you).
OAI also sells vintage seat covers.
You will first want to get the fabric, then have the vinyl color matched (it can't happen the other way 'round).
SMS can be aggravatingly slow in actually sending you the fabric, and the salespeople might tell you all sorts of tales, so get your order in ASAP. I've been told that SMS won't start a production run of any particular color until they have a sufficient amount pre-paid and on order.
Make sure you pay with a credit card, in the event you need to apply pressure to get your order shipped.
If you are very lucky, they will have some copper-color fabric in stock. But in all cases, use a credit card.
