When Bob called me earlier today about my car, he also mentioned that after a lot of pestering by himself and Mark Mallie, Katzkin has released an APPROPRIATE "Hemi Orange" color for the Katzkin seats.
For those unaware, the Challenger Accessory brochures showing the Katzkin Seat colors ('08 showing orange, '09 showing red) are
grossly inaccurate. We've already seen that the "orange" is a mustard/yellow orange and
nowhere near the hemi orange color. Bob reported that the red doesn't come close to Torred either.
At first Katzkin basically shrugged their shoulders and said "That's the orange we have, sorry!". But after a ton of people (including myself) canceled their Katzkin seat orders and Bob Frederick/Mark Mallie got on Katzkin's tail about it, they've finally fixed the orange (Bob didn't mention the red, though. So I'm not sure on that). They have a new work order and everything to signify the new
proper hemi orange seat color.
Bob will be ordering a set to verify that it's what it should be and that it looks great (I'll post pics as soon as I get them from Bob). I'll definitely be picking a set up.
So whether you guys ordered your car from Bob Frederick or not, you might want to take this opportunity to snag the Katzkins from Bob as soon as he can verify they're the real deal. I know I will.
Big thanks to Bob Frederick and Mark Mallie for pushing the issue hard with Katzkin until they remedied the problem.
