I have finally finished up the development for my seat kits and am ready to start selling them. I put a lot of time and money into this and I can promise you that these are some very high quality pieces.
I can also get mostly all of the e30 cloth fabrics minus the houndstooth and any special alpina clothes. This includes all OEM vinyl and leather colors including cardinal, bet there is a price difference for oem materials..
If you pm me, we can discuss prices for Alcantara/faux suede, leather, and cloth.
This is a DIY kit so it will require disassembly of your seat and installation of the upholstery.
The installation requires:Flathead screwdriver
-Philips head screwdriver
-Needle nose pliers
-snap ring pliers
-17mm socket
-side cutters for hog ring removal
-a stapler to secure the centers to the cushions (I can provide this service for a small fee if you send me your center upper and lower cushions)
-hog ring pliers and hog rings (I can provide these for $17)
(I have also heard of using zipties, but have never done so myself.)
I recommend the hog rings because in some places the material must be punctured by the hog rings, which may be hard to do with zip ties
Getting the headrest foam into the cover can be difficult. You run the risk of ripping the cover, so if you do not feel comfortable doing this part I can do it for you.
There are a few write-ups of seat kit installation for e30 sport seats online, but I can, and probably will, provide my own write up for this process.
These seats have black vinyl bolsters w/ black tweed cloth centers, but any material/color/stitching combo that you'd like is available.
I will get some more pictures this weekend with the seats removed, as well as pictures of the rear seat.
Soon to come are custom door cards and headliner kits.
Post up with any questions and comments.
