Mine are black. Here is a photo when they were in the Disco.

Looking at the photo reminded me that the SE7 also would have the rear fold-down headrests, possible rear climate or audio controls, and the rear step assist next to the hitch beneath the rear bumper.....

I knew that there were no trimmed anchors, as the carpet is solid and only has the four tie-down anchors. It also has the normal cargo holds on the sides where the seats would fold up. Actually, he had an SE (with 116K miles) that I test drove as well, but I didn't care to take on all of those extra miles.
I have not read ANYONE so far who has tried the retrofit from an SE that didn't have all of the required bolt holes already, just takes a cut in the carpet. If there is a review that says otherwise, it would be valuable information for me.

I just went outside and looked for the VIN badge inside the hood, and I don't see one. I have a good carfax that shows regular maintenance, so I am not worried, but I would like to know what trim package it came with. Do you think I could call the dealer it was purcahsed from?
@DiscoRover, I like your pic, and I think it is the same color as mine. My nay blue is so dark that it often looks black.

I just ordered the eBay kit to replace the leather boots on my e-brake and 4WD shifter. Also planning on ordering the heated seat activation kit from AB and I need good floor mats. The ones at AB (rubber ones) are $135, but look good. Is there a better option I wonder? Off to scroll through posts...

@Catman,
Those are exactly what I would need. Where are you located? If you are interested in a trade, we can do this thing. Let me know.

@Catman,
Note, I believe I do not have the rear A/C panels. I have no rear A/C. Do you?

Ah I believe the 2004's changed the blue to Aztec blue, or something like that. 2003 is the last year of Oslo Blue, I'm so proud of it

Can someone post a photo of the rear a/c panels? I have to specify with or without rear a/c when I swap out for jump seats, just wanted to know what I am missing.

It's Adriatic Blue which looks like black most of the time!

I love it. It is almost like I got two colors for the price of one.

Now, my interior is a very pale tan with black piping. I wouldn't say it is the Alpaca Beige, because the beige in post #12 above is a lot darker than what I have. Where I am looking, it shows only two other options, black or Tundra. But on another site Tundra looks like a gray color. Any ideas what color leather I might have?
