Tex must be some amazing stuff...I've seen cars that are literally falling apart around it, with seat frames that are mis-shaped and the horsehair pads are crumbling to dust, but the tex covers look OK. I do wonder why the palomino color fades to the sickly pink color sometimes.

The issue I have with Tex is that I associate textured vinyl with old VW Type 1's (Beetles) and have trouble thinking in terms of high-end cars with pleather seats. My dad always ordered Oldsmobiles with vinyl seats, AM radio and manual windows and locks, so I associate vinyl with el-cheapo cars. It also brings back bad memories of driving from Cincinnati to Florida on vacation, sweating and sticking to the hot vinyl...my dad preferred open windows to A/C for some unknown reason. Add sand to the mix on the trip home and it was a terrible ride.
