Lookin to do front seats in the civ, maybe even do it to the rear and door panels, but I am looking to refresh the front seats. I already have EG SI seats in there because my drivers bolster got pretty beat up, but now its time to be proactive and put the stock seats back in.
I am looking to reupholster them myself, and want some general ideas on colors and fabrics. It is a red 90 Si hatch with the grey/black interior. Whatcha think?

 

I would try to find a similar pattern to the si seats.

i lack creative fabric selection.

 

Red suede would probably look good. Or that netting type fabric, like the Sentra SE-R seats.

 

Do not laugh but I was looking at pleather (vinyls) for upholstery, and there is some nice stuff out there and cheaper then leather. Some of my ideas:1) black bolsters (sides) and differently colored middle pieces, maybe even perforated, 2) Euro/JDM style: leather/vinyl bolsters with fabric (suede here looks great) in the middle, 3) partial restore - if your center pieces are still ok or have access to passenger seats in a better shape - salvage those and redo bolsters. Are you considering sewing them by yourself? Some of this stuff gets pretty thick and an average machine will bog down, vinyls/leather ted to slip a lot (that's why upholstery machines have walking foot). Just a food for thought. Happy holidays!

 

Those are great ideas, I really like the EDM idea. The restore is great too, but I like my passenger seat, haha.

 

Thanks, here is the store I used to look stuff up.

What I also did (using this site) was to take those sample images from their site of fabrics I liked and placed them side by side in Photoshop to come up with my favorite fabric/pattern arrangement. This is actually simple but great idea... (patting himself on the shoulder) to find what you like. Some stores will also send free/cheap fabric samples upon request.

 

the bottom right corner put it diagonal and make it like the Exclusive

 

Wrap 'em in Alcantara. I would LOVE to have EF Si seats in some sexy black ultrasuede...
