The covers are already on Gordon. I stayed with tan but added quite a bit of black stichting, black seat belt holders, and the black "Mazda" logo. They turned out great and are better quality than the OEM ones. Much softer leather and Leander on the back too. Salva ( the forum member that did these) deserves much praise for the on time great job. I highly recommend him.

 

Thanks Gordon.

 

We can do either Alcantara or Cloth. Cloth would be a lot cheaper.

 

thats nice

 

would this be something that you could make and ship out, and fairly handy person could install them self?

Im thinking there would be some interest in a cloth like r1 seat since its so popular.

 

Sure, If you are pretty handy and have the patience, you can install them yourself, hardest part is making sure that the side bolsters fill in properly by paying close attention that the factory foam does not kink up while you are filling it into the new skins, other than that paying close attention to the dissasably process so you can perform it in reverse is key. A cloth seat skin would be about half in price of leather.

 

These would install like any other seat covers you would purchase I would assume so this is a great option for you guys. Much higher quality than what is available thru other sources and at a great price.

 

Just remember that suede or cloth will wear faster on a bolster from sliding in and out...

That is true. However it all depends on how you use your car, even if it's your daily driver the cloth will last many years before showing signs of wear.

 

Looks good as always David..
Salva you have PM..

 

I replied to your pm before reading this, thank you for the answer. I guess if we had an issue installing it we could always ask

 

thanks, my seats have about 110k on them and they are just starting to wear, but they have been faded for the past 5 years, thats the annoying part haha since they look purple.

 

Thanks man. Noel will hook you up and the quality of the leather and workmanship is fantastic. I'll be at Gordon's meet in a few weeks if you are going to be there.

I had one of the seats off this week installing as fire extinguisher bracket and I checked out how these re installed. I think most of us could do this and as Noel points out, it's mostly about getting the seat foam in the right position. These work like the stock ones and have the zipper, the back pocket, and everything.

 

that looks great. Do they have them in red?

 

Thanks David, yours look great btw

 

Yes, you can get them in any color you want.

I appreciate it. My wife wasn't sure about the black stitching and the "Mazda" logo on them but even she agrees they turned out great

 

Happy wife, happy life haha

 

You got it and with the amount we spend on these cars, you gotta keep them happy

 

David, do u have any updated pics? Im curious to see how they look now that they have gotten some sun on them.

Also, i may have missed it, but how much are the covers?

Thanks,
Austin

 

I'll take some next week when I pick up the car. They haven't faded at all. I'll leave the pricing up to Salva. PM him. I had several speciality things done to mine (perforated leather insets) and "Mazda" logo but the price was quite reasonable compared to the others out on the market.

 

Cool...I was more interested to see if the wrinkles on the bolsters worked themselves out.

Gotcha and I can't remember Scheduled to pick up the car on Tuesday so we shall see.

 

I ordered a set from Salva last week as they should be the star of my Tan>Black conversion. Carpet should be showing up from RHDJapan by the end of the week.

Once I get the swap done - I'll report back on the quality of the seats - but I am expecting them to be top notch.

 

I'm sure youll like them.

 

You will be very pleased I predict
