Alero with two tone leather?

I came across a 2003 Alero with two tone leather seats and the Olds emblem sewn into the front buckets. Has anyone seen this before and know if this was a special edition or option package? I can't find any info on this and have not found another one like it. Thanks.

Must be a custom job, all GLS models 2002-2004 would have a single tone leather seat, only the final 500's had a special bucket seat with thicker padding and a square shaped headrest with square hole in the center, with the final 500 logo.

Just remembered that the Intrigue final 500's had two tone seats, did it look like this?

I found the car your looking at! Out of respect for you I won't cut and paste the location where i found it. It does have a nice added feature of heated seats which again is not factory. FYI it has the wrong wheels on it, correct wheel is polished aluminum(see pic of my GLS)

Custom for sure!

I've seen that car somewhere before. I know I have

Maybe the previous owner was an Aleromod.com member

Yep, that's the interior I'm talking about with the darker inserts and Olds logo. I thought it was pretty cool. Thought maybe it was some kind of special edition as I couldn't imagine someone putting all that work into just the interior without doing a bunch more to the car. It is so tastefully done.

Came across this car while shopping for a first car for my teen daughter. She has been coming with my wife and I to Oldsmobile events since before she was born and actually wants an Olds to keep the family tradition going. I like that idea. It's probably a little too nice for her for a first car but I can't get it out of mind.

Thanks for the info!

The price on that rig is not too bad! I like the Gold package which with the Ruby Red makes them pop. I was going to get that color there but in 2004 they changed to sport Red which did not strike my fancy, and there was too many Red,Black,White and Silver ones running around.

Good luck on your purchase!

We did end up buying this Alero. It was so much nicer than what I had been looking at and I liked the fact it was different. My wife is going to drive it while my daughter gets some practice in the wife's '97 Ford Contour.

I found a sticker in the glove box from a company called Auto Extremes. It had an invoice number for "leather and heaters". I have not had a chance to call them but I think they do work for dealers. There website shows seats much like the ones in this car.

I do have questions regarding the correct rims. I want to find originals. I think I'll start another thread so this one doesn't get off track.
