    I had a pair of these in my old car that needed a little work, the cloth was in good shape but the bolsters needed some attention. What are a pair of these worth? How much would these suckers cost to get a nice upholstery kit for? I love how yours came out they look amazing!!!

      Depends which specific model you have and condition as far as value. A true set of LS's ranges between $200 in terrible shape to $1500 recovered. Sent you an IM with quote for jackets...

      Should have some updates on our seats sunday if all goes well. I really want to get the inserts in so we can start on the rear bench.

        They look like these, but with the solid head rest like what you have on yours. No tears in the fabric, a lumpy cushion in the drivers side seat bottom, but everything else is in pretty good shape.

          Ah those are out of an alfa milano verde. We sell new foam for those and have some in stock now. That being said they are indeed the exact same seats we are recovering in this thread.

          The outside fabric was black avus and is still available, the inside is "black monza" and is no longer available. We could make you a good deal on jackets for a set.

            Just a little fyi - those of you with older oem recaros we now offer replacement straps for your seats that also carry our lifetime warranty.

                            I'd like to know the cost for a complete re-cover like you are doing here, using the same seats (or stock e30 M3 Sport seats, which are very similar), same fabric & patterns, everything. PM me if necessary, thanks!

                              The french seams on the bolsters look great. Do you use a double-needle sewing machine?
