Photo request: up-close photo of '16 steering wheel stitching on signature model

[shaundarbie]

2006 Mazda 3 owner here. I'm looking at re-covering my steering wheel and am interested in using the same stitch pattern that Mazda used on the '16 CX-9 steering wheel, which they call "chidori" stitch. Maybe only on the signature models? Anyway, was hoping that one of you could take a close-up photo and post it here so I can see it in better detail. I haven't been able to really see it well in Mazda stock photos.

Thanks!

This is my 2016 GT. I am unsure if it is different than signature

I hope hits work for your purpose. Check the attached pictures for additional views

The stitch on my signature is the color of the interior brown trim.

Excellent photos, thank you. That appears to be a typical stitch, so it does look like the "chidori" stitch is only on the signature model.

Below is the best photo I can find for the signature. It appears to two rows of straight stitching in brown, then some sort of cross-hatched black stitching in between, but I can't really see the detail.

Does anyone have photos of the signature up-close, like jbedoya put up for his GT?

how about this ? i found online, like shaundarbie said, It appears to be two rows of straight stitching in brown, then some sort of cross-hatched black stitching in between

That's a better photo than I found and does show more detail, though still a bit unclear on the exact pattern of the black stitching.

I have a Canadian model Signature. It lacks the brown steering wheel stitching, but it is heated. Maybe it's a trade off? With our current weather (-15C), I love the heat!
