Leather Seats

Has anyone in Northern California covered the factory seat fabric with leather? The factory material is obviously difficult to deal with because of dirt attraction and color. (wearing out my Shop Vac ) Cost, Location, satisfaction is helpful. Looked for appropriate thread with poor results, Sorry!

Yeah, I'm thinking that might be the best bet also....

Especially if I'm thinking of changing the right side seat with a JDM seat back, a custom upholstery shop would be a better choice, as all the seats wont be a set size, like those Mugen seat covers offered for the GD (the real ones). Trying to mix and match would be difficult.

You still thinking about that JDM GE front passenger seat back swap?
(to get refresh mode back)

we need to get part#'s and prices.
do you have anything/updates?
that will inevitably make my decision final.

It's definately on my list, but I'm still waiting on any update from JDM_DOHC_SiR. I'm sure he's a little busy working on his new car at the moment.

I definately want that seatback, and the only thing that will deter me might be the price. The flatter space (true refresh mode) will come in handy when carrying stuff.
