Basically every FC generation RX-7 has significant bolster wear on the driver's side seat as early as 30k miles. If you did make a solution, would would you recommend for something more durable?

Here's a pic from a very low mileage car on bringatrailer.com right now... most are even worse...

Genuine or nappa leather. Those are much more durable then synthetic. You could also do alcantara inserts which is extremely durable.

I would easily pay 500 bucks for replacement leather seat skins for an FC. It is ridiculously hard to find replacement seats. I know you guys would prefer the FD market, but some of the FC guys got money to throw around for the right products.

We do have FC seat covers too, but FC came in several different styles, and we have only one type. Here is the link https://ridies.com/Product/26134/198...er-Seat-Covers

Thanks

But please make sure that you have the same types of seats that these covers are for. Like I said, FC came in several different types of seats and we only have one type. These won't fit the other types.

Thanks

Not wanting to thread jack, but for the FC guys, back in 2005 I picked up a set of genuine leather seat skins for my S5T2 form leatherseats.com, cost me around $475. They had a group buy going on here at the time, not sure if that vendor still makes FC covers or are even still in business. FWIW, they've held up great - still look & feel brand new with no bolster wear.

Leather seat covers

I couldn't find any install info on your site, how difficult are these to install? Also, the photos on the site show some wrinkling around the bolster areas that are concerning. Are these related to the fit or are they installation error?

Also, is the logo stitched into the leather or embossed?

I'm looking to order soon for my FD.

Thanks!

These covers do not come with instructions for installation. You will have to watch few youtube videos. 50% of our customers install these themselves but we always recommend to get them installed professionally.

About wrinkles, lot of those are because of bad installation or because they didn't take the time to use heat gun or steamer to stretch the leather. These wrinkles go away over time btw.

Logo is stitched.

Thanks

Surprised me with the FC seat covers. Impress me with a replacement set for an rx4 coupe. PM me if you need my seat covers as a prototype. You could have great market in Australia and a decent amount in north America

Installed

Well, I purchased and had a set of these installed last week. Overall they are pretty nice. Only complaint is that the fabric doesn't quite cover the back of the seat so when you lean the seat forward you can see some foam at the base of the seat. Otherwise, the upholstery shop said they were easier to install than some of the others they have seen. They appear to be soft leather, we'll see how they hold up.

Hope this helps!

These look nice. Can you please take your car outside in the sun and then take few pictures of seats?

We would like to see closeup of the seats too if possible.

We will appreciate your help, lot of customers ask for pictures.

Thanks
