I'm thinking of replacing the carpet on the sides of the entry stairs with the same material that is used on the dashboard. For the 1998 era models, is that original material Ultraleather? Also, if anyone has bought the material themselves, do you have a color code ? It appears to be either the papyrus or tan color.

When we were FOT this spring we toured the plant. They still have a lot of that material in stock from previous builds. You should call them and ask them. You might be surprised. Your idea for the carpet is great. I think I will bo the same and call them to see if they have my material.
