i saw a set of elise seats and wanted to know if anyone knew how to get them. they were tan leather looking with black trim on the sides. They had elise stiched in the head rest part. i believe i thought i saw them on someones red elise on this sight. i thought they had it at a car show.

Sounds like standard Elise seats in biscuit leather which you can order through your local Lotus dealer (parts department).

Yes, that color scheme was an option with the touring package. My vehicle has these colors.

Are you speaking of this pattern?:

What I'd recommend is to get the Exige seats in biscuit leather however; ask the dealer to order them with Elise embroidered on the head rest.

Also try searching for "California Edition". I think those may be the seats you are talking about.

those arent the seats i was looking for, but they are now. Does anyone know if you can order these and have elise put on them? will they write anything you want on them?

The picture Tass showed is magnolia with the diamond pattern stitching.

This is an Ardent Red California Edition with the magnolia leather interior:

I would contact a Lotus dealer who has experience with the Lotus trim shop at the factory. Those seats are probax Exige style seats with Elise near the headrest which the factory can definitely do.

WOW! Those are stunning!

Please make sure and let us know what you find out about getting that interior!

Chris, as was said earlier, the Lotus Trim Shop can make any seats you want.
