Cloth to leather recaros
 

Does anyone make leather seat covers for the stock recaro seats? I have cloth recaros and wanted to switch to leather.

I believe you can get some GT500 take off ones.

or regular GT leather covers from ford if you don't want the snake on the seats.

Definitely an option... but the pricing is crazy as Tousley shows them for ~$2K per seat!

that's gotta be the whole seat, no?

Nope... check out this link.

Recaro leather seat covers

$1.1K for upper right cover (item 1), $900 for the lower right (item 17)

Has anyone contacted recaro themselves for possible seat covers?

I'd think a competent upholstery guy (or gal) could do you a custom job for similar (or less) money than 'store bought' options....

wow.

Will the local shop work affect the airbag deployment? Not sure difference in side stitching...

This. That's insane

gonna bump this back from the dead, did you ever get them swapped over to leather? any other options?

I'm sure if they're competent, they should be able to match the factory stitching. I know this is an old thread, but just throwing it out there.

2k per seat? Dammmmnnnn. Not worth it by far. Supercharger or leather seats???? Thats a hard one.

I have been offered to trade my cloth ones for leather ones a couple of times. Seems that you slide around more than what some people would like when hitting the twisties. Maybe check the classifieds on the different forums for people looking to trade seats.

If you want to keep from sliding around on the leather, you need to drive naked!

:D :D :D :D :D

NO PICS PLEASE!!!!!!!!! 😉

BWHAHAHAHAHA!

Having done this before I can vouch for this statement. Not preferable on a DD basis though. LOL. I lost a bet.

Any info anywhere on how to swap the covers?
