CDM Type R rear seat replica?..
Hello, i like the look of the CDM rear red seats but can't afford them and can't justify paying that much just to have red rear seat so id like to know if anyone knows anyone or a shop in the S.D area that can reupholster a set of ls rear seats for me to look like the CDM rear seats or to match the red reccaro SRD seats, Or somewhere where i can purchase the red reccaro fabric?, if not ill just have a local shop do it for me. Iv searched and couldn't find a thread online where someone did this in the past.
If anything i will post pics of the seats in case anyone wants to do the same! I will have a shop reskin a set of LS seats or GSR which ever i end up getting. I want to match the Recaro SRD seats in my Integra.
Hopefully it looks very similar to the real ones!

There's nothing more sad than a replica of a part that is desirable only because it is rare...especially when its only function is looks.
But try the appearance section maybe? Or just an auto upholstery shop via google.

Pretty harsh man. Based on what you say, museum replica fine art is junk as well.
There is nothing wrong with someone appreciating the way their car looks as well as preforms.
That being said there is an upholstry shop Near Clarence Brown Alignment on Armour street in Kearny Mesa. Heard they are pretty good

And I'm not being harsh. I don't understand why someone would knock off something as pointless as red seats that are only desirable because they are rare and from a CDM ITR. No better function than stock seats.
Instead of your museum example, it would be like:
"I've always wanted TE37's to show off at a car show because they're expensive. Where can I buy rota grids at? I'm ready to settle and be sad because I could have just got the real thing."
"I've always wanted a Bentley. Where can I get a "B" grille for my Chrysler 300c?"
"I've always wanted a kitten. Where can I drown some kittens?"
All of the above are equally tragic.

OP doesn't need to listen to me. I did give him helpful advice along with my opinion. Or maybe I saved him the trouble of getting something for half price that will only make him 1/8th as happy. If you do the math there...thats 800 sadnesses.

Thanks i tried but i somehow posted it to the southern CA section smh!
Lol...no you're definitely at another level with museum replica art. Not the same situation at all. Hopefully, I don't have to explain why.

Why would i want to spend over $2,000 on a set of CDM rears just so i can have a set of red rear seats when a set of reupholstered seats would make me just as happy in fact even more happy cause i paid way less to get the "look" i want! and its my choice on how i want my interior to look! I'm not looking to brag to everyone claiming there CDM seats!! no i simply want red rear seats to match my Reccaro SRD seats! what are the closest to that? CDM seats! but I'm not going to spend that much so whats wrong with reupholstering a set of seats to get the look i want? If i was going for a straight CDM interior conversion then yes id buy the real ones so i have the bragging rights but i could care less! I don't ever cheap out on my project car many members knows that here!
This is not a thread on me wanting to make a replica part so i can go around saying yea there real or whatever no id proudly say there just reupholstered seats.

Im not a fan of knock off parts at all! but when it comes to the look i want which is the red rear seats the CDM seats are exactly the look i want but its to damn expensive cause there so rare! wish other ITR's came with them so they would be affordable like the other ITR seats. So i see no problem re skinning a set of integra seats to match my recarros.

Re: CDM Type R rear seat replica?..
Your first post made it sound like you really wanted CDM seats but didn't wanna pay for the real ones. I think that's actually word for word.
If you're just looking to match your red front seats in colour, it's a completely different story.
I wasn't saying I did with any malicious intent. I was just assuming you were selling yourself short based on what you posted.

Hello, i always wanted a set of rear CDM Integra Type R rear red seats but can't afford the real ones so id like to know if anyone knows anyone or a shop in the S.D area that has done this or can reupholster a set of ls rear seats for me to look like the CDM rear seats. Or somewhere where i can purchase the red reccaro fabric?, if not ill just have a local shop do it for me. Iv searched and couldn't find a thread online where someone did this in the past.
If anything i will post pics of the seats in case anyone wants to do the same! I will have a shop reskin a set of LS seats or GSR which ever i end up getting. I want to match the Recaro SRD seats in my Integra.
Hopefully it looks very similar to the real ones!

I wonder if i can order the real skins from a Canadian Acura dealership and just wrap the seats myself.. But I'm sure they will be very expensive still. I got quoted by a local shop for $280 so ill see what happens but ill post pics if any is curious how it comes out. After i sell my USDM ITR rear seats ill be paying around $150 for these reupholstered seats. I Always wanted a full red interior! might wrap my center console lid with the same red sued material.

Re: CDM Type R rear seat replica?..
you can buy the EXACT suede & alcantara tweed fabric that is used on the usdm type r front & rear seats/jdm itr recaros & rear seats at the same place that sells that front recaro protective seat cover that you have.
A few minutes of browing and you will find it.
www.capitalseating.com
it's expensive though...

Re: CDM Type R rear seat replica?..
Well i got it from a guy who had it made in New York somewhere. Ill get the shops name and if anyones interested pm me and ill foward the info. But im sure theres a shop in S.D that can do the job just as good, i searched around and talked to a few shops in my area and was estemated around $450 for materials and labor. I then randamly came across these and decided it was more cost efficiant and less hassle if i just baught these then finding a set of used seats to redo then wait and hope it looks good.

Re: CDM Type R rear seat replica?..
Also capital seating states that is similar, not the same fabric.
Maybe you found the same Alcantara colour (not suede).
but for the center section of seats, only Honda has them and also I don't know if you can buy from them.
anyway, post some better pics of the outcome!
bye

it's not the same tweed as honda seats, because only Honda can sell it!! it can be similar, but not the same.
