Material for USDM black seats
I am planning to reupholster the seats in my teg (LS) and wanting to do them up black with red stiching like the ITRs.
Normally I can look up material codes by y/m/m to match OEM but I guess the ITR isn't common enough. And I haven't seen any in person.
First off, are the LS and ITR seats structurally the same? From the pics I have seen they look the same but again haven't been able to compare in person ... and I could build up the foam as needed, larger bolsters etc.
Next does anyone know material names ? I am guessing just straight black suede on the bolsters and head rest ... the inserts look to be different though.
In the pics they tend to look kind of charcoal, not so much jet black but I am assuming they're more black in person.
Best set of pics I've found
