Do you recover Recaro bucket seats? I have a set of Recaro Profi XLs I would like to have reupholstered in leather.

I have the following leather in stock, Black, burgundy, linen, tan, cashmere.

I'm sure it can be done, but is not only the foam that has a different shape but the frame is also different, but I don't do that conversion I only use original Recaro sport seats, what can be done is a 964 sport seat conversion to a 993 softback yes.

I'm glad that Lart stays true to the seats and his craft, and doesn't compromise by using regular cores for his sport seats. The sport seat cores go for a premium.

The difference between std seats and sport seats in the 964 are 4 rods welded to the frames, and the foam that covers the bolsters, base and back. Doable, but the hard part is sourcing correct foam. Frame mod is an easy task. I have done it.
