Reason: typo mistake
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?
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.

Well then, I have found the perfect option to make my interior 100% black now. Only thing missing is seats. 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.
Yes we do. If you want just the alcantara inserts (the middle section) then it is $150 extra. If you want the entire cover to be in alcantara then please call us at 317-516-5962
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.
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.
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

Sure, we can do seat covers for rx4. Call us at 317-516-5962 and we can discuss details over the phone.
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.
