I'm currently waiting on Nick to find some later model seats for his red one. If it does'nt pan out I'll need another option.I believe they do, but I think we are all talking about the fit and filiment of the leathers.

Interesting observation! I believe the maint'/conditioning protocol used by the owner(s) over the years dictates the softness/suppleness in terms of feel of the leather more-so than the actual appearance.While on this subject, I have wondered if the leather used was a different quality in later years? To me, there is a definite difference in feel from some of the NSX seats of 1997-on versus those of 1991-95. The early ones are softer to me and the later ones seem harder.
I agree, these seats look perfect! If and when I have to re-do my seats, this is EXACTLY how I'd like my seats to look! Good job.
These seats are by far the best I have seen. I wish I had someone local that could do that. Every time I see them I get jealous. :redface:

My '91 is in dire need of reupholstery, but I feel like the driver's bolster gets so much abuse when you get in and out of the car that it wouldn't be long before it looks worn again. Baring learning how to get in and out of the car without rubbing on that bolster (I don't move like I used to!), has anyone redesigned that area when recovering their seats? Underneath maybe?

Given that "a small fortune" is definitely in the NSX vernacular, I hadn't thought to give the same description to seat covers. I think I paid around $600? That's 1/2 a t-top gasket, 1/3 a timing belt and 1/8 an EPS rack. You can't even buy a nice wheel for that much these days. Spending that every 10 years or so would not seem to be overly burdensome.
Not to make light of the cost, I certainly wouldn't let a worry over long-term durability prevent me from investing in the seat covers. Now if I was shelling out $3k (like CF bodywork) or $10k (like a paint job), then I'd agree with you.

Is that the little old lady that does your seats?Jim,
Wanda's trim shop on Harrison ave right off of 74.
They did the seats in my 95 installed for 520 with perforated centers.
Take the seats out and take them to her. Let her know you want them to be VERY tight like the factory were. Any color stich anything you want. PM or call me for the number..

Here she is getting on the Vendor forum:

What other "favors" does she do for you? :wink:

I had mine done custom, it cost about $1200 for seats, doors and center console. I use perforated Alcantra in the middle of the seats. The seats are full leather in back etc. The fit is as tight as the ones above, everyone comments on how great they look. I have seen some of the leatherseats.com and I was not impressed. The NSX is not the type of car you go for the cheapest option in, nothing looks worse than a poor fitting interior. Spend the extra money for a custom, you will be glad you did.
They look much better in person

Just called an upholstery store in Orlando for a quote on recovering my seats, seats alone, they wanted $3450
Why can't I find a place like this above in Orlando Crazy how much price can fluctuate.
When I finished installing mine they looked loose on the bolster, but tightened up nicely. They look MUCH better than the oem seats looked. I have never seen oem seats that look acceptable. Of course, I have not seen a new car (only 2003 or less).
I still plan on going to a pro installer this spring after it warms up. I want to get my seats perfect so they look like new factory seats. I have been quoted $150 per seat and $75 a seat for labor. hmmmm - which one will I go with? :wink:
