Sparco Torino Seats

Does anyone know what the Sparco Torino seats are made out of, like what fabric?

I am getting 2 of those seats and want to get my back reupholstered with the same material and my door panels also. I was going to do that now while I wait to get the seats.

Anyone think it would be hard to put some material over the door panel pieces?

Ah, stupid me.. I should have just looked on the site first haha.

It is Jacquard, what the hell is that? Do you think like Wal Mart's arts and crafts section sells that? Or would I have to go to some special store? I wonder if that material is expensive?

I think Jacquard is like the kind of material that like a wetsuit is made out of, no? If so, does anyone think that would be cool for door panles? I will still do the rear seats to match though.

Jacquard - sounds expensive. Sounds like it would look nice on the back seats, though. Give the doors a shot as well, if you feel daring. I dunno, it just sounds like it would be $100 a yard or something nuts like that.

Sparco sells the jacquard fabric separately for this exact purpose. Go online to www.sparcousa.com and download the pricelist. In the price list, you will find a section for seat fabrics, as we sell leather, alcantara, jacquard, and the competition seat fabric. Your local Authorized Sparco Dealer/Distributor will have no problem getting this material for you.

Good luck and enjoy the seats.

Shouldn't be too hard to install the fabric but if you don't want to take the chance doing it yourself you could probably find some old dude who restores cars and is used to doing that type of interior work to do it pretty cheap. After buying fabric from Sparco you will need to save all the money you can lol
