I finally got a pair of carbon buckets for my car from Suncoast. My car came with green stitching from the factory and the new seats have the standard gray. Has anyone redone the stitching on these seats? Are there any pics of those seats with deviating stitching? Thanks in advance.

Mine has red stitching but came from the factory like that.



I think I have also seen yellow, but never green, should look awesome.

Thanks, that looks great! Now I just need to find a shop that won't screw up my new seats. I'm a little nervous to say the least.

look for a ultra high end boat upholstery place or car restorer.

Sub'd- looking to do the same as the rest of my car is stitched up

I've got a shop in mind locally or the guys at BBi have a recommendation too.

I completely trust the guys at BBI and who they might recommend, but man are you brave. :-)

Akara1

I hope I'm just brave and not stupid The guys I talked to this morning are replacing the stitching on a Bentley with the Mulliner stitching. They have done work on Bugattis and other exotics too.

Tell you what, if they come out horrible I'll take them off your hands (for a steep discount of course!) and have them refinished in perlon to match the rest of my no-leather .1RS interior :-)

I need to get those seats! Soooo. If you want to sell the silver stitched ones then I'm ur guy.

Sounds promising but I just dont see how they would restitch already punctured leather.

Either way keep us posted on your decision.

One of the guys I spoke to today said it can be done, but it takes a very long time because they basically have to advance the sewing machine by hand to get the needle in the existing hole. I'm going to test it on the shift boot first.

Whatcha having the bbi boys do to your rs?

Akara1

Welding coolant lines, 4.0 clutch, engine mounts, cup car shifter cables, toe links, drop links, ecu tune, and alignment. I think that's it

Edit: Forgot they're doing a Guard LSD too.
