interested in the red alcantara seats! do you need the seats or can you send the covers and an installation kit?

 

The plan is to make it so we just ship the covers along with posting an instructional video on how to install the covers yourself.

It would be great if we could install all the covers. But that is far from cost effective for the buyers.

Excellent! Interested in Red Alcantara for OE seats, please post pics!

 

The recaro replacement covers look great. Mine are pretty worn and I'm looking for every option of getting new ones or seat overs. What price will they go for?

 

Who are you guys using for the Alcantara vendor? Honestly, I've had this granite Ultrasuede in my Integra for YEARS and the quality is alright. According to the Upholstery guy I used its OEM grade, $120/yd stuff. It wore out on the center console rather quickly, so when I do the FB's interior, I want something VERY high end.

 

Hey Austin,
Do you have a solution for recovering door panels, especially with Alcantara? I know most that I've ever seen either don't fit well, or end up coming unglued or sagging.

Headliners as well—is Alcantara really good for this, or is there another fabric that is more frequently used on high-end sports cars?

 

Pricing, as well as the actual group buy will be posted shortly.

We use a few suppliers for alcantara. Ultra suede is an almost identical product in both construction and wear resistance both to contact and sun light. If you use either material on an area that is touched often, like a center console, it is going to wear. Body oils and friction have a negative effect on both. That is just the nature of the material. Both alcantara and ultra suede are very high end. For an area like that we might recommend leather or vinyl though.

Which is why we will be offering bolster covers with our kits. Vinyl or leather bolster covers will wear much better than the alcantara itself. So we will utilize them to protect the covers in areas where abrasion might cause issues over time. The bolster covers will be available in matching alcantara also. That way, if there is excessive wear, you can just replace a bolster cover instead of an entire seat cover.

FD door panels are always fun. We have done a few sets of them. The key is the preparation. We use a few products to help get all the years of Armor All and other cleaners and treatment off the panels. It literally takes days of applying strippers and cleaners and then letting them sit and soak in to get the panels to the point where they can be glued to. That is 75% of the reason why most end up peeling or sagging. We also use a commercial grade contact adhesive that is stronger than anything else we have seen. After many attempts I feel that we have figured out the process(knock on wood).



Headliners are not an issue for an fd. We have done several in alcantara. In my opinion, it is the single best piece to wrap in alcantara for an FD interior with the dash coming in a close second. It adds a very rich and classy look to the entire interior.

You might see good results if you clean that arm rest with a cleaner designed for alcantara or ultra suede. We use Sonax Alcantara Foam. It is one of the best we have found for removing dirt from synthetic suedes. We do stock it here if you would like to buy some. Just send me a pm.

Thanks,
Austin

 

Nice work, would be interested in the leather seat covers for the RZ seats.

 

What would guys charge to covert a set if tan panels to black material ?

If you can pm me available options that's be great. Thanks

 

Ok guys, finally got these red alcantara seats wrapped up. I will get some better pictures of them in the next day or two, but here is a couple teasers for now. Our customer opted to do the custom embroidery along with matching alcantara bolster covers.



We will be setting up the group buy shortly. Pricing will break down as follows:

Full alcantara seat covers in any color, including matching bolster covers: $1550 shipped (CONUS)
Custom Embroidery: Add $100
Leather Seat Covers: TBD. Pricing for leather should be very similar. If someone wants to commit to doing a set and be the guinea pig, then we will make some up.

Price drops will be $50 for every 5 members that sign up with 20+ being the price of $1350 and being the last price drop.

If anyone is interested in bolster covers for their current OE recaro covers, we will offer them also.
Black Vinyl Bolster Covers: $100 shipped
Alcantara Bolster Covers:$150 shipped

Thanks,
Austin

 

Beautiful work. Those are going to make a BIG statement in someone's FD. Wow! 😱

 

These are great looking! Makes me wish I didnt already have freshly refinished Recaro's in my car now

 

Cant wait to pick these up, they look amazing. I'll post some mounted pics soon.

 

will you offer this for non-Recaro OE seats?

 

We can make covers for any seat. Where you looking for usdm oem seat covers? I do have patterns here for them as well and have made several sets.

Thanks,
Austin

 

Yes, usdm oem seat covers in Red Alcantara with a diy install kit...

 

Can you do a padded armrest cover for the map lid cover?

 

Looks good!!!!

 

They do excellent work. I'm extremely happy with the final product.

 

Mike Mauro(ZoomZoom) and Rich(GoodfellaFD3S) stopped by the shop on Sunday afternoon. Mike was nice enough to snap a few pictures and share them with me.

Included are some high quality shots of the Red Recaro seats. We are getting close to launching the group buy. I am working with Eric(Ericsworld) on ironing out all the details that will be need for the installation process. He purchased one of the initial sets of covers that we used to pattern the seats. Even though he had a local upholstery shop do the installation, the covers are still not 100% installed correctly. We want to make sure that our customers have all the information needed to properly install these covers as wrinkle free possible.

Thanks for everyone's patience.

Can you do the sun visors and fix the broken plastic retainer parts?

 

you have any installed pics of the dash and door panels?

ESH - can you PM me a price quote for doing the same work you did for DgtlWar. Instead of yellow stitching i would like red.

 

We can wrap visors, yes. We don't do plastic part repairs though.

Thanks,
Austin
