Hello All,
My name is Austin Edwards, I have been a long time member on these forums. My brother Alex and I started our own business one year ago after having a combined 12 years in the industry. We specialize in interior upholstery for all automobiles.

My first car was an FD rx7, so they hold a special place in my heart. Over the years, it has become increasingly difficult to find good condition interior parts with many parts becoming discontinued and used parts getting older and more heavily used.

We are here to try to help facilitate users needs as best we can when it comes to restoring the interior of your rx7. So please, let us know of any parts that you think we may be able to help with.

The second purpose of this post is to inform members of products we are already developing and will be starting group buys for shortly. Those products include:

Full seat cover replacements for Spirit R and RZ Recaro's in alcantara:




Non bose privacy covers for the rear hatch area(still in development):


Non bose trunk carpets:

We look forward to working with the Rx7 Club community and appreciate the opportunity to help keep your rx7 one of the best looking cars on the road!

 

Excited to see your products in development stages

 

VERY interested in a replacement cover for a Spirit-R seat. I do love alcantara, but any plans for leather? Keep up the good work!

 

Are you able to do the alcantra while retaining the factory RECARO logo?

 

We are a full service upholstery shop. We can cover the seats in anything your heart desires.

We can do custom embroidery, yes.

Very glad to see you and Alex getting officially involved in the community here on the forum Austin

I've had four sets of seats recovered now for my own RX-7s and for some good friends. All came out VERY nice--- you can't go wrong here

 

Austin,

I will be purchasing the rear non Bose carpet and hatch privacy cover. Let me know when they are available.

Thanks for doing this.

Mike

 

I can vouch for these guys, they've covered a number of our aluminum interior handles (maybe you've got some pics to post from John you can post) but they came out great! Maybe we can set up some partnership to funnel customers over that want their handles done in leather.

I will take one of the Non Bose privacy covers when they are available as well.

 

Austin recently covered just about my full interior in alcantara and did a phenomenal job. I'll be bringing some more parts to ESH in the future!

 

What leather colors available for the seats cover if you make this as option

 

Thanks for the support guys!!!

Zilvinas007, the short answer to your question is any color. But depending on exactly what you are thinking, it may effect pricing.

The group buy will be set up as the base alcantara cover being the starting point with options from there. If more members want to see a leather option, then we can certainly do pricing for a base leather seat cover also.

The curious thing with leather is that there are so many different options. For example, we have about 100 different alcantara colors that we can choose from. So, if someone wanted to do a bright orange seat cover instead of black, we could do that and it wouldn't effect pricing. With leather, there are several different factors that contribute to the price of a hide.

So, I could set up pricing for members based on a nice mid range, smooth grain(nappa, as some might know it), black leather for "mass production" with the option to change the color. If you wanted to switch to something exotic like the lime green Lamborghini Verde Ulysses leather, it will effect pricing though.

You can pm me and we can discuss different options also.

Thanks,
Austin

 

Good idea. Start with a base of a full alcantara replacements - then add a handful of leather options - and the rest just call "custom".

I know I'm in for a set regardless.

 

Can you redo steering wheels like this?

 

We do not do steering wheels in house right now. We deal with a company in Dallas that does great work for steering wheels.

Hand stitching is a whole different ball game. It is something that we are working towards being able to offer though. I have been collecting factory FD shift ***** to eventually recover.

-Austin

 

Leave some shift ***** for the rest of us, Big100

 

Austin did my center tunnel cover and a-pillar covers in Alcantara, and they look awesome.

Pro Tip: I used the charcoal grey instead of black genuine Alcantara, and it seems to match the nearby vinyls and plastics better than black—black alcantara sucks up a lot of light, so tends to look darker than plastic or vinyl that reflect a bit.

Did you know the price in mind for alcantara and leather options

 

I am in for updates on this!

 

+1

 

So I hope you guys have a west coast connection cause yeah shipping my interior out your way probably wont happen.....sad face.

 

wow, finally a place right near me...

 

The first two sets we did together as our "prototype" covers to get the patterns figured out. So we didn't have a real accurate gauge of how much time one set actually costs to make. We are doing a set for another customer right now in red alcantara. We will use this to confirm our pricing so that we can bring these out at the lowest cost possible for the community.

I can tell you that our covers will be very competitively priced to the few other reproduction covers that use similar to OE recaro material that wears out quickly and doesn't look half as good as alcantara.

Just put everything on a pallet and send it over. ....But seriously, freight shipping isn't that bad if you are sending a lot.

Stop in and visit....when there isn't 2 ft. of snow on the ground.

-Austin

 

Would likely be interested in a trunk carpet!

 

your works looks really nice, I'd be in for a set of covers. will you be selling leather bolster covers as well as an option? those are nice pieces.
