RE: Leather seats in RA??

Just looking for an opinion here. I wanted a set of Recaro cloth seats but they are out of stock of the cloth ones (unless I want red or blue or yellow...ick). However, he DOES have sythetic leather....not my first choice...but do you guys think it would look bad?

Leather looks waaaay better than cloth. Makes the interior look like a much more expensive car. The only thing is you should change the door panels to match. I hated the red-flake stock interior (almost a deal-breaker for me)

So gereral opinion here is that it won't look odd w/ the synth leather up front and the cloth out back.

Yah or nah

I think it would look great. And you could probably re-do the door pannels on your own and having an upholstery shop do the back seat couldent cost more then a few hundred dollers.

yeah it would look odd... hopefully you can eventually get the back seats wrapped also... i don't think the door sills will clash with them too much tho

I think cloth holds better than leather... IMO

For the looks ----> Leather
For better hold ----> cloth

It depends whats more important to you

I agree w/ ya on that one. Thats why I initially intended on getting cloth...its just that they are sold out of the ones I want in the cloth..

As for the door sills...I don't think it will clash at all..thats why i'm getting the red stiching....help blend it in
