Aftermarket leather seats that look like factory

I just purchased a 2002 maxima se (majestic blue) yesterday and I am considering leather seats. The dealer is charging 1100 just for seats and theres installation costs too. I have the frost interior and I am wondering if anyone knows the best place to get frost leather that matches my car. Has anyone gotten aftermarket seats that look very much to factory? I have checked out leatherseats.com but i am not sure about the quality and color match. Can you guys help me out? especially those who already purchased and installed aftermarket leather...thanks

Leatherseats.com and Katzkin both have told me that "Puddy" will match the frost interiors.

Mattattax,
Do you still have your factory frost leather? I would be interested in purchasing it. Is your 02 max SE or gle?

Where did you get the two-tone leather for and for how much? Did you install it yourself? I thought 2002 seats are different from 2000-2001, did they already have the 2002 design?

If anyone else got aftermarket leather can you answer the questions above too.

Also if you have or know anyone selling their frost leather..please tell me.

Thanks

Try Katzkin.com I dont think they sell direct to the public, but when I bought my car, they took it to Sun Auto Tops in Ft. Lauderdale and installed katzkin leather. It looks good..and I believe the patten is the same as factory.
