Looking at changing interior from red to tan

[gabe_95]

My upholstery shop ordered it based on the design I chose and installed when it came in.

Oh okay! So you went to a local place first and then they went through alea ? Or just did it themselves?

sorry for all the Qs, I’m in the process of doing something similar but on a smaller scale? Mostly just looking to change the driver side pad and center console stuff from red to tan

I went to an upholstery shop who is an Alea dealer and they ordered it and installed it

Looks great!

I wish Katzkin offered it for our cars since they offer ventilated options as well. I had them on my BRZ - perforated leather since I hated the alcantara that came standard.

I like your seats so much OP now I started shopping around for quotes - thinking of going black and tan combo (tan in the middle to replace the suede, and keeping oem black leather with red and white stitching bolsters and headrest) - GR or Supra embrodery in the headrest might be cool too

Looks awesome! I want to do the same for my Stratosphere but with silver stitch, there's no Alea installers in Canada so I'll probably tackle this myself, does the OEM heating element need to be sewed to the new covers or do they just sit on the foam? Do you recall if your installer had any issues with installation? How does it look now?

I don't think they had any issues.

What was the shop you used? I have a buddy in Phoenix that wants to get his Silverado 2500 HD done

Seatz Etc - and yes, they can do the Silverado.

Looks like Roadwire sold out to Katzkin.

Alea Leather seems to have lots of options and premium Nappa Leather.

Everything works as if oem and works, etc., but it doesn't feel like oem at all. Feels much softer, like actual high grade leather.

~ do you know if you opted for their Verona Leather or Nappa Leather option?

He did Verona since Mojave is the option in that swatch set

Last week... I opted to order a custom Alea Leather set of seat covers in the premium Nappa Leather in Red and Black on the upper sides and backside of the seat... following the factory Supra pattern and light grey stitch.

I expect to have them in a couple weeks. I will post photos once installed.

Looking forward to a pop of color and a premium soft leather. Ditching the black leather for red. Should be a big improvement over the stock / oem leather material.

Nice! I’m doing an order right now for full red Nappa leather seats in the same pattern as OP.

@89 and 95 I just placed an order with Seatz etc for the same Alea reupholstery as you in their Verona red. Thanks for the post and all the info!

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.
