Wait, you want your oem seat re-upholstered? Or are you buying JDM Recaros and re-upholstering those?

There is a spell check button BTW.

I have 1 red JDM Type-R seat in red and it is in mint condition (drivers). Asking $800.00 No stains. Looks brand new!

if money isn't an issue, buy new seats
buying used seats and re-upholstering will end up cost you more money unless you get the seats dirty cheap

I thought about this also. It may be cheaper and end up looking better to buy someone's used OEM seats in mint condition. They do come up often in the For Sale section.

I would sell the old, you should still make some good money on them..and then buy new ones..

Actually im assuming the drivers seat is the bad seat? you could just replace one if thast the case.

If you need, say, the bottom seat cover, you can get the OEM item from Acura. Delray's price is $392.

http://www.acuraoemparts.com/d...ch=no

Then there's the work in taking the seat apart and all that, but it's another option.

Thats a good idea, a little pricey but all options seem to be. Plus you get to take stuff apart

Ummmmm.... your name makes me read **** every time I look at it. Can you tell me what it stands for, so I dont just think of ****-itus (think alergy) when I look at it?

Oh yeah, get JDM Recaros. Unless your destroy them, they're also a good investment that lately seems to be doing nothing but going up in price for a clean set.

Personally I would sell yours and get new, if that's what you want.

Or get new ones, then sell.

Just so he doesn't have to use a lawn chair to drive around until the Recaros arrive.
