Where can I get some recaro fabric from?
Basically I have DC2R front seats and I want to get matching fabric/suede for the door trim, back seat etc
I was thinking of Honda... but I am a bit scared of what they might wanna charge me

try find the seats at a wrecker cause its hard to find
all you can do is ask mate....Yes is gonna be a ridulously high price....but that car manufacturers!!! I would just take it to a Automotive upolsterer(i think that how ya spell it)....they can match it almost if not perfect and its gonna be heaps cheaper aswell!!!
I already have seats from a DC2R I just want fabric to match the rest of the interior
Is there a recaro australia???
red suede is easy, any auto trimmer will have some.
as for the fabric, thats a different story
the seats dont use recaro trim, recaro cant help you, nor roman autotek. the seats use an exclusive honda trim and no you cannot buy it off them. they can sell you the whole cushion (for one seat) for $655.10 i kid you not
i went crazy looking for the stuff. your best bet is to try motor trimmers, even they may not have the same trim
if you do end up finding the fabric do tell :D
I did call Honda...
I believe you!
They only sell the seats in pieces.
So I asked how much roughly a seat would cost if I got all the individual components and put them together. It was near enough 5 grand a seat...
I guess I am stuck looking for the fabric, which I see it unlikely to happen as I have been looking for trim before to change interior colour but not leather and it seems like there is not a lot in fabric materials at car interior places
talk to idealseat in melbourne...last time i ask him he said he had found a material very similar to the red type r seats but not exact and he was still looking so maybe his found something but yerr....worth a shot i reckonz
contact them via email Idealseat@hotkey.net.au
i have other details but i have to look for them so if he dont reply just pm mi and ill look for dem
cheers
p.s. try ebay...i remember seeing some on ebay in america though =/
gL
I have the black seats not red.
But I'll send him an email thanks for the info! :)
Yep, the fabric is near impossible to find. Lisa and co at Idealseat have searched high and low for the fabric (the suede is easy to do) and cannot find itQuote:
