Has anyone had their stock leather seats recovered with leather? My driver's seat is starting to look worn and I was wondering where I could get a good recovering job done, how much it would cost and how long it would take.



I am looking to have the fit and finish as close to original as possible but would prefer top grain leather versus the split hide stuff that is on there now.

you have basically two options.

1. the factory seat covers are available

2. you can take it to an upolstry shop, try to find one that does older/concours cars.

On the other forum there was a guy who did a seatcover and it looked just like the stock seatcover!! It was AWSOME. I am thinking about it myself.

I don't think even Mr Ememiya could pull that one off.

I have been thinkin the same thing bout my seats, I hate the look of worn leather. I know that one of my buddies had his Grand Prix GTX done with two tone leather, and it looked AWESOME, and was softer than the stock leather was.



HMMMM...... I dont remember how much he paid though, but the guy had money, so I am sure it was a lot :(

i just got some sheepskins for mine. the leather was totally fucked.

amemiya already did it, he has a pink FD vert, red leather interior, and a body kit that makes it almost look like a Porsche. It was in super street about 2 years ago or so.

Listen - before you go out and spend a bundle I have heard that there are some really good leather dyes out there for that specific purpose! I think it works as long as the leather isn't really torn. But worn is ok!



Maybe someone here knows the name of a company that sells it?

fd vert? pics please

I did mine from leatherseats.com. The seats are 575 for the set. I got quoted between 400 and 500 for the install, so I did it myself. It took two evenings.



I have to say I did mine about 2 or 3 months ago and they still look and fit like new.



and Rikii, I saw a pic of your car today, my car is black too and had tan originally. I redid the seats in black and it looks WAY better than the black/tan.



If anyone is curious about the carpet, I dyed the carpet black with the fabric spray paint. The cost was about 20.00 and took about 1 hour. I removed the seats and painted the carpet in the car. I have shown my carpet to a few of the forum members at the racetrack and they are all shocked that its dyed, nobody can tell. And I constantly get comments about how awesome the seats are.
