Default Reupholstered seats in Bride gradiation

Ok, I went all out on the seats, I was going to get a replacement kits, but after reading up decided to spend the extra to have a local place upholster everything with the bride fabric and real leather. I'm going to get a Bride Xax gradient later when I get more money. More pics to come soon once I get them back on the seat rails.







Working on the audio, Pioneer AVIC-D2 with a dvd player in the glove.

i think its a good replacement for the everyday regular looking seats and those big ugly sparco and recaro racing seats that dont go with the interior period ,these actually will look good in a sc

s0arer,
The job on those seats looks great! Very unique and still attractive. Congrats!
Reading this, I couldn't tell if you were saying that getting the replacement kits (I assume the leather kits to help you do a reupholstering job yourself for ~$650) didn't seem to go over well, or if it was just that you wanted something different. I'm thinking of redoing the upholstry soon with one of the kits, so figured I'd ask which it was...see if I should even be thinking in this direction or just focus on having a local shop do it.
Thanks,
-Scott

not bad look but definitely get the bride racing seats up front. The leather from the bride racing seat will probably not match up to the rears that you have

This is real Bride fabric, $300+ cost price in material. No fake crap. I will have a real Bride seat as soon as I get more money and figure out which one I want for the track/drift days. I just needed reupholstery done before JDM Theory show in Frisco since my leather was cracked ugly. Not trying to front or anything.

Yeah, from what i read the mix of leather and vinyl, I didn't want to get those kits $600-700+ kits. I wanna see and feel the leather they use. Plus I don't like hog ties so I'll let the professionals do it deal with it.

No disrespect man... The seats are hot. It's just the principle... It's obvious you got money and willing to do things right without cutting corners.

Yeah, the Bride black leather may not match up with the rears leather we used, but you can't tell in a black interior that's dark.
