Newb question for potential buyer

[ru03j89]

hey
I am interested in getting a mazda3 black or white i-touring. I want the Abs package and leather seats. However, my dealer told me that I cant get leather seats for the i-touring. Is there anything I can do? I have considered after market leather but is worried about the airbags in the seats? or should I get the s-touring? (I would rather not because its more expensive and also gas)

Also, I have seen dash with silver color or black color. Do you get to choose? or is there a specific color for the the s model and a specific color for the i model.

Lastly, if I pick black interrior will the trim lines be grey or red? i have seen both so was wondering about it

thanks

you really don't need leather. i think their cloth seats look pretty sick anyway plus they're pretty comfortable.

you can get the seats redone in leather, but i wouldn't
some places will most certainly do it, even with the airbags, but i wouldn't touch that

you need to see them in person. pearl is sparkly, rally is not. go look at them on a sunny day. aftermarket leather will not affect air bags. we do it all the time to cars. the companies that do the leather could be held liable if the air bag did not deploy or malfunctioned, so they have kits designed to work with the air bags. aftermarket leather is nicer and softer than factory. expect to pay about $1000.
