Went from this hot vinyl:

I supplied the material and the local upholstery shop only charged me $150 to do both seats! I get a lot of favorable comments on them, and they are much cooler to sit on than the vinyl was.

Saw these the other day googling 914 plaid seats.

Autobahn Interiors makes these.

They augment the bolster sport seat like and insert a great looking plaid.

I'm sure you'll need a wheelbarrow of cash to get these done, but they do look sharp.



Looking at this picture again, I see an opportunity for 914rubber to do a padded bolster/GT option. Include the firm padding needed to fill the bolster area. The inserts would remain the same.
I'm in for a pair or two.

Rick's Alien has pasha seats. Not sure where he got the fabric.

I would be willing to pull the trigger for a set of them.

I bought my cloth from AA for a less than $200. My local upholterer did the work for less than $300 for both seats.

I've said it before plaid is for sissys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aaron.gif)

Then sign me up because I scored a set from 914rubber.

Just kidding they look good just not in my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)


I am kind of thinking this way also....

nothing else in the car is plaid, so it seems out of place to me.

The ones in the pictures and others I have seen look to be well done. and maybe there was even a stock version, just not my cup of tea.

Yes, an option in ‘75 & 76. I bought a white ‘75 with red tartan seats. They were trashed by the time I got the car but I like the look. I think the matching door panels will tie it together.

It's not hard to find just about any tartan color combination you can imagine.
Just buy the material and get your local upholsterer to make it so.
