Just received some pics from autobahn of my recovered seats. Kinda excited to get these in the car.
I’ll post more pics once they arrive. This is the German Houndstooth (called Pepita, I believe), which was a much heftier material than the standard houndstooth. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Rob-O: If you don't mind me asking, how much was the seat recover job? Did you ship them to San Diego? Those are awesome. I have the dark brown interior now, but it is too hard to replace, so thinking of seats like yours and replacing the doors panels and back pad with black. Thanks I shipped them to San Diego. Price for seats was about $1600 with the German houndstooth (known as Pepita). There are tons of options out there for the tan/Brown. I believe there are multiple houndstooth colors. Call and ask them to send you some samples, can’t hurt. Just going back to vinyl inserts in basketweave would’ve been several hundred cheaper I believe. But here in Texas that vinyl gets warm. An added bonus (so far, we’ll see if it continues to be) is that the cloth tends to hold me in the seat better. No more sliding around. It does make getting in and out of the car a smidgen tougher. But once you’re in, you’re in. |
