rx7 seats
I am almost ready to get my seats on the 7 redone. I purchased the bride seat fabric and I am planning on place this in the center section of the backrest and the seat part. I am not sure if to do leather on the rest of the seat. My other options would be cloth or suede.
what do you guys think or suggest?

My stock 93 faux suede seats are pretty faded. When I have my seats redone, its getting done in the same type of faux suede. I think my the r1 suede seats are the best fabric compared to cloth and leather. Leather isn't a bad choice, but dealing with the hot *** leather, scratches that show up in leather, ect aren't worth dealing with it. IMHO

So far i have estimates from this place using fake or synthetic leather and my Bride insert - 375 per seat.
A different place said they would do it in vinyl place my fabric and leave the old back side of my seats - 450 for both.
Another guy highly recommended to me by a friend. Said that for suede with my inserts and red stitching - 400 a seat.
What do you guys think? I also asked a guy about faux suede and he didnt know what that was. LOL

I literally just had this done to my seats only in Recaro instead of Bride. As soon as I get my car back from upholstery (suppose to be tuesday by the end of the day) I will post pics to better give you an idea if you'd like. I went with Onyx colored faux suede which I might add is super soft. My a-pillars and headliner are covered with the same stuff.

I went the cheap way and I purchased some covers that are "synthetiic leather" and if your car is not garaged and have no tint on the front they will fade really fast.
A member here, "Salva" does really amazing covers with real leather.
I'm not sure what hes starting point is nowadays but I was quoted a little under 800 for both seats.
If I were to do it again, I would probably spend a little more $ for the real leather or fabric like the ones in the Base RX7.
