    Got it. Did all Alpinas come with Recaros, or did they have sports seats with alpina cloth?

    In race vehicles it's also common to replace items every few races. Durability is much more valued in non race cars.

    Also here some pics of a set we had redone in our fabric so you can see for your self how kick ass it is haha



    The fabric looks great! The stitching where the fabric meets the leather could have been better, IMO. It could be the pics though...

    Not sure I would call kids "asshats.." :)

    But seriously, know what you mean, I have leather in the Saab daily, and I am just amazed when I pull the car seat out what I find back there..

    Luckily, where the cloth will be going is not going to be driven daily and only brought out for special occasions.

    Nice seats... unless you allow asshats into your car that MIGHT spill something, I'd go with the cloth too. Even my 6 year old son knows better than to spill shit in my car. ;)
