Where do I find Recaro Material??
1st off...you do realize Alcantara is Suede correct?
2nd, if your talking about evo 8 seats, they are not alcantara. They are suede, with the blue inserts. But, the suede on the outside bolsters(And the whole rest of the seat) is not alcantara. Take your seat to a local upholstery shop, they should have no issue finding a suede that will match decently.

Okay I am almost positive I am not the only one with rips in my driver seat, or worn white marks on the passanger seat.. My suede is dying on the doors and there is no shops around here that match the color. I always get a brownish / reddish suede never the deep blue black that matches my interior. I dont want to buy new seats. Can anyone provide me info or point me in the correct direction? I can have my buddy fix the seat if I had the material. I have also emailed Recaro numerous times about this issue but to no avail. I have yet to get a response from them.
I just called Recaro North America and they said they dont do the reupholstery. Its true you cannot get the same suede/weird blue stuff from Recaro but they will sell you different fabric so you can have the seats recovered at an upholstery shop of your choice. Bummer.

I spoke to Recaro directly. They said they can re cover the seats in the exact same pattern as whats in OEM recaro equipped cars (car makers pay for exclusivity) but they have a host of other choices and the price isn't that expensive. I believe it was about 250ish a seat for the front.
I seriously considered that but the downtime (he said about 2 weeks max) was a concern and I found some MR interior for a decent price and went that way.
