Hm, I have a BBY but I still don't like the blue. It looks sorta cheesy, IMO. I'd wanna just get full black seats, or maybe dark grey to contrast a little. (dark grey where the current blue is). But jeezus, $1100 for reupholstering? You might as well spend a couple hundred dollars more for brand new racing seats that have better side bolsters! I was thinking maybe $500 or less...

yeah right, a couple hundred extra for cheap racing seats, then you still have a different color backseat. I think you could spend less than 1100 on the interior. But why get a ghetto job. That's like shopping for a dirt cheap Lasic eye surgery! Sometimes it's better to get it done right and pay for that privledge!

You can't replace the front seats with equal quality for less than $1100. Don't replace your Recaros with cheap seats just because you don't like the fabric. BTW, you can get leather for $600 - $700 with a do-it youself-kit. This was very popular with the early WRXs.

I didn't say you could get new seats for < $1100. I just think if I were to spend $1100 on reupholstering, I might as well spend a little more and get better seats for me. I have a small frame, and the smaller bolsters they made for us " fat Americans" is not a good fit for me. I need bigger bolsters.

I'm not saying I would settle for a ghetto job - I never do anything the cheap way. But I just don't think it's worth $1100 just to replace the fabric color. You guys must be high rollers... haha.

Could you in any way possibly just dye the blue part of the seats? All black maybe?
