Default JDM CTR recaro reupsholstery possible?

What's up I just purchased a set of red ctr recaro seats. They look great right not but I have no garage to park the car in and have read that the alcantara on the bolsters can fade in the sun. I was wondering if in the event that the seats fade is there anyway I could bring them back to bright red? Or could I have the seats reupholstered in the event of a tear or rip without sacrificing the originality of them? Just a question I would like answered for maby the distant future. Thanks!

why are you asking us if it will affect the originality? of course it will seeing as how it wont be original.

IMO i would probably buy some fabric paint that is color matched as close as possible and just spray them.

Well I mean I would use the same alcantara fabric. Capital seating I think it is sells replacement bolster covers as well as replacement alcantara fabric which is what I mean. This question isn't an important one to me, just a "would like to know"
