    E30 Seat Uphosltery Kits

    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.

    Yeah. I like this. You'll sell a ton for verts when you offer them. Every convertible ever needs new seatskins.

      I need to make some vert templates. I am going to pick up a vert soon, hopefully. If I can't find one I'd be willing to give someone a nice discount in return for letting me use their existing seat covers to make my templates.

        The sample photos look fantastic.
        My vert will need some attention before too long, although the vinyl in it now has held up remarkably well.
        What about the foam underneath? If the seat covers are relatively intact, does the foam need to be replaced too?

          If th foam isn't visibly damaged or degraded, it should not need replacing. If you had some that are damaged, I have plenty of upper and lower side bolsters.

                    Long overdue for a "new" service like this. Sad you wont be doing as much steering wheels. Shoot me a PM if you want to do some business to business cross promoting.

                        Those look great! I'd like to see M-Tech colors on the center-back stitching, would look hot. If I didn't just get in on the CAtuned GB I'd be all over this.

                          $350 for fronts. The prices are subject to change, but if there are any changes it won't be major.
