Good news convertible owners, leatherseats.com finally has a pattern to work from. So they're now taking orders for factory replica seat covers. E-mail eric for now until they update their website.

Here's some details including 2-tone, perforated, and embroidering options. Also quality, fit & finish, & stiching details.

I've asked for pictures as well.

Dear Vaughn,

I am writing you today concerning your Mazda RX-7 Convertable interior. I know that you contacted us some time ago with interest and thus I am happy to announce that as of Sept. 7 2003 we will have the pattern for the 1988-1992 Mazda RX-7 convertable seats. The kit will be available in any of our 50+ colors for $579.00 + shipping. Two-toning will be available for $20.00. We will be perfing the headrest wings to accomodate for the factory headrest speakers. Please contact me if you are interested in the pattern release currently.

Thanks,
Eric

thanks for the info. although if I am going to spend +500 on a seat, I'd get the sparco rev-c, evo-c or pro2000-c.

 

There's nothing like a a brand new looking original vert seat that still has the speakers in the headrests. If I owned a vert, I would NEVER change the seats.

 

Right on!

 

oh i didnt know they have speakers on the seat
thats freakin pimpin !!!
gotta get couple of those seats

 

doesn't Scalliwag offer new covers for considerably less??

 

But do they make the seat covers without the lame head rest speakers head rest, and the standard head rest instead.

Then you could use them in any GXL as well as the non-head rest speaker equppied 'verts.

 

Scalliwag ?? Do share. These are direct leather replacements, not neoprene or pleather / vinyl.

The main thing is it's much cheaper than a leathershop can do, you get the same quality, and 2-tone & embroidering options (well no logos obviously).

 

good to hear, I was about to drop some 1991 miata seats in to replace my aging rx seats. I have a question though, how would I go about wiring a SE to use the headrest speaker? Do I need the OEM radio/CD player? And does anyone have a write up on doing this?

 

Good job.

I had my seats done last year to factory specks...

The lady said "Never again"...still cost me $1000.

My seats look great.

Origional for ever!
