With naughtys recent suede interior swap it made me think about wrapping my seats also. Anyone know if its possible to just take out the middle perforated leather and sew the suede into the inserts on the stock seats? Also would be looking into doing the door panel inserts with suede too. I talked to a shop and he wanted over 600 to do just one seat. In reality i think it would work but has anyone ever worked with them. Tips. Anyone think it will lay right on the seat?

 

the door panels shouldn't be too hard they do it on clubrsx all the time

now i dunno why he did red inserts in a BOM

 

hey man it is real easy to do what u are talking about OP i am actually doin the same thing except jus black perforated leather not suede...my grandpa does upholstery and he did my back seats for 200 with door panels....so to answer ur question it is not hard at all and will look really nice if done right i will post pics when it is finished so u can see

 

Any progress?

 

well if ur asking about mine LOL i am doing a black and tan theme cuz i like the light tan just not the dark brown...so i did black inserts on my seats and all the dark brown is becoming black.....so far my back seats are done and im goin to start door panels on monday!! then front seats and finally the dash becuz i think it is goin to be a bitch to take it off to paint! i will post up pics once i get farther along...again if u were asking about mine thats my update and if u were asking about him well then disregard my post LOL

 

^ Nice keep us updated and post some pics!

 

I know Classic Soft Trim and Katzkin both new upholstery with suede inserts. I had my F150 Lariat seats done in tan leather with suede inserts, and loved it. I would think a good upholstery shop could remove the stock seat cover, and replace the centers with suede, then reinstall.

 

in for pics

 

Me this is a feeler im on deployment right now....hopefully the other guy gives some insight when he does his


had this qouted at a shop at 600 a seat which was crazy for me...i figured you can just take out the sticking and restitch the suede in

shop told me i would have to replace everything or else it wouldnt form back right but just the inserts should be fine imo

 

trust me man they are just trying to rip u off. like i said my grandfather has done upholstery all his life and he is awesome at it...hell he even upholstered Air Force One last year and no it is not a joke my grandpa upholstered obama's plane LOL but yea i will post pics wen i get the stuff put back in!

 

Updates????

 

Anything Yet..? Pictures?

 

I havent had time man just got back off deployment. I might give it a shot next month when i do the headliner. Someone else in here said they had wrapped the seats though maybe they have some insight.
