Enquiry About Leather Car Seats

[Jason Zhu]

hi guys

i want do leather trimming to my front seats(r33 s2). or buy a pair of them (such as sparco leather seats)

where can i find a store? or any suggestion?

Any auto trimmer can retrim your seats. Just open the Yellow Pages up. Doesn't help that you didn't specify where exactly you are located.

For aftermarket seats, simple Google what you want; or search on these forums for Bride, Sparco, Recaro etc.

Just realise it aint cheap. A genuine leather retrim for two seats will be $1500-$2000+

Ahhh...

Pascoe Vale has popped up Phil.

[PM-R33]

Oh right, yeah I didn't really look at his Location status thing. I did a Google search so that's in Vic yeah?

$1500-2000 is a but much for a simple retrim.

depends largely on who does the job. prices vary massively.

[PM-R33]

Yeah prices vary quite a lot, I understand that.

The $1500-$2000 is what I got qouted when I was looking at getting R32 GTR seats and doing them in black real italian leather.

To get them done in different cheaper materials was around $1000-$1500.

I didn't end up going through with it and just bougt some black East Bear Sigma seats instead.

Im glad for your sake you went for the eastbear's, that trimmer would have been laughing all the way to the bank.

leather is not the most expensive material around, GTR seats would not even use one hide. If i was to do GTR seats in genuine Alcantara which is apprpx 30% more i wouldn't charge that much.

Best advice when coming to trim work is shop around before commiting to one shop.
