Looking at changing interior from red to tan

[Jmanlevan]

Shawn from Seatz Etc. just sent me photos of mine and holy shit am I excited! Verona red with the San Bruno diamond perforations and I had them add a debossed Supra logo in the headrests ?

The new red Nappa Leather covers arrived today... Wow they look fantastic in person. Zoom in for a closer look of the details and stitch of the loose lower seat cover. A photo doesn't do them justice.

The installation is to take place April 1st. Photos to follow once installed.

Did you have a choice to choose color of stitching?

Did you have a choice to choose color of stitching?

Yes you do, the seats are fully customizable. Go to Aleas website to see all the options. It’s pretty cool.

~ yes but I wanted to match the existing light grey stitch on the dash and door panels so it remained factory looking.

~ Wow the debossing is super cool.

I had them ditch the silver company emblem and side black airbag tag on mine. An extra cost of course. Appears the Verona leather has more grain than the Nappa.

Can't wait to see the final install.

I'm removing my seats personally and delivering just the seats to them (I'm particular like that). I should have mine back mid-next week. Pics to follow.

Nice! Yeah I didn’t even know that there were going to be tags like that. Not a huge deal to me though! Verona definitely has more grain than the nappa and the nappa is softer. I splurged on the deboss which was a $300 add so I stuck with the Verona instead of bumping up to the nappa because the cost for these seat leathers was rising quick. I’ll be happy with the Verona because I actually don’t mind the rubbery vinyl feel of the factory leather too much and I know the Verona is going to be an upgrade to that

these are the sample differences between Verona (right) and nappa (left).

I removed my stock seats tonight so I can drop them off for the red leather to be installed.

Super easy to remove (4 - T50 bolts and a clip harness). And nice to vacuum beneath them.

A sample that was sent to me from the upholster... I expect them back tomorrow.

Looks great! Did you ask for black seatbacks?

~ Yes I wanted the oem look and contrast.

Absolutely perfect!! Looks like I know what I'm doing next to my car. May I ask what the whole process cost from ordering with Alea to install? And more importantly- let's see the seats back in the car!

He started a separate thread where he shows them installed! Looks really good

Did any of you guys order directly from Alea? I'm in Canada and there aren't any installers/dealers I can go through

Thank you!

I had my Alea leather installed today, and I love them! The deboss Supra logo in the headrest is my favorite aspect aside from the seats being red. Thanks for posting here and sharing your upholstery @89 and 95
