For triple the price of flame retardant your better off buying an aftermarket recaro/sparco brand new that comes with flame retardant.

ESH said the foam was 3x the price for flame retardant versions-- they did not say the same about the Alcantara (unless I missed it in the thread). In any event, I'm asking ESH for their pricing. I'll make my own decision whether it's the right product (looks really good ESH!) or right price.

Anyone considering ESH recovered seats should check the eye candy that I just posted in my build thread

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

Yes, just the foam is triple the cost. The sew foam that we use is about $8 a yard. The flame retardant version is close to $30. The alcantara that is flame retardant is about $15 a yard for expensive. So, it is more expensive, but not anywhere near 3x.

We will iron out the pricing for all the options soon. We are coming out of a very busy spring for local boats and cars. We will get the ball rolling on both group buys soon.

Thanks,
Austin

Received both the black and red alcantara bolster cover sets. They look and feel great, exceeded my expectations. Will be a few weeks before I get back to Japan to fit them on my seats, will post some pics up when I do.

Here's a better shot with a more complete interior (still a few pieces left).

Seats, headliner, shift/ebrake boot all done by ESH.

Sorry for the lack of updates on the group buys guys. We are just trying to make sure we iron out all the details prior to launching the group buys. That way they go as smoothly as possible. With our workload, that has proved to make it a very slow process.

We can make covers with the patterns that I have here and then ship the covers for the customer to install. We just sent a set of covers down to Puerto Rico for a customer.

We prefer to do the installation on covers because it usually yields the best results. But that is not always practical with shipping costs and our customers budgets. Each of you can send me a pm with your specifics for your seats and I can price it out for you.

Thanks,
Austin

I'm interested in a parcel shelf and rear carpet when the group buy is established, depending on pricing.
