Thanks to FD newbie, picked these up. They cost $$, but Mazda aint making them any more available...

My kid is like "DAMN DAD!"


Ive got a down payment with a vendor here to get them recovered black alcantara with red stiching, ala the JDM ITR Recaros I had a long time ago and loved.


Currently in the car...


If you have the spare funds and can find a set, nothing beats OEM! BTW the tilt function is amazing, works better than I would have thought.

If it's ESH Upholstering you will be very pleased with the end result.

here is how they look finished. I havent actually installed them on MY personal seats, these are the ESH RZ seats.

My RZ seats still have excellent OEM fabric on them so im just gonna let them wear a bit before swapping..

Or sell, if someone makes me an offer I cant refuse.

Congratulations.

Accept no substitute. These are the best for the street driven FD by a mile, nothing else comes close.

ESH did a great job on my bolster covers, the fabric feels great, and unlike every other cover I have used before, they never slip off.

Agree 100%, Austin and Alex at ESH recovered my S-R driver's seat and an OEM passenger seat to match and did an outstanding job. I've put some seat time into them and am VERY satisfied

P.S. Zero Wrinkles for you, cr-rex

Dang these look killer! The red stitching accent is sharp. About how much should one expect to be set back to get a pair of these?

Pair of the seats or the covers? Seats are going for ~3k for both WITH rails, and the covers (depending on options ) will set you back well over 1k probably.
