Default Looking for RS America Seat Fabric

Does anyone know where I can find OEM or similar RSA fabric? I would greatly appreciate any leads.
Thanks,

+1 in this search, I think the fabric from RSA America is fire retardant too.

I have a set of sport seat covers that match the rsa covers. Porsche script fabric front with black vinyl backs. They are old. From the 80's. Same sport seats so they fit perfect. Faded. Small tears on the drivers bolsters. But fixable. Pm me if that works. I understand if you want "new"...

Have you tried Recaro? There should be a tag on the bottom of the seat with a code?

RSA seats were not the same fabric as script seats, and the original fabric was never available. There were 704 pairs of seats and that's it.

I do have one remaining drivers seat with excellent fabric which I would sell.

The seats (#944.521.001.04.CJE) from the RS-America are still showing as available ($8,265.62) in the parts system. I can only imagine what you'll get for yours.

Is there any chance you could look on the bottom side of the seat for the recaro label and post the part numbers, info, etc? I am 100 miles away from my RSA.

Trust me, they are not available and were never available to be ordered. 94452100104CJE is the normal C2/C4 Turbo Sport seat.

The RSA seats were covered by Recaro by special order of Porsche. They were never used in any other model. Of course the under pinnings are standard 4 way sports seats but the cover made all the difference.

CJE is the color/cloth indicator that differentiates the RSA seats from the regular sports seats.

I've also read that Recaro would make seats with OE (i.e. Porsche) supplied fabric. But supposedly that fabric was used previously by Recaro. I also know (from experience) that it's possible to track down the original supplier to Porsche, if it was infact a custom supplied fabric. First I need to start at Recaro and work backwards. If you already have the seats out of the car and sitting around and can post the numbers from them, cool. If not, I'll look at the seats myself next week.
