That looks absolutely incredible, I love the pattern you ended up going with.

Thank you! Yeah I wanted something different than the OEM style and this was perfect. The guy at the shop talked me into doing the little trim piece around the seat im black for some contrast and I absolutely love how it turned out

@DermDoc Thanks for pointing me to this thread! It looks ballin' and really goes well with the design language of your overall build.

Now I have to go into a corner and convince myself I don't need this. I don't need this. I don't need this.

Good luck! I tried the same thing and look where I ended up. Worth every penny though

DermDoc and GMG... please post your pics here once installed. I can't wait to see them! Congrats in advance.

Not installed just yet but my guy just got them in today and sent me a pic. Went with black on the sides and blue stitching to kind of keep the A91-ness going

Nice, which blue is that?

It's the new Saphire Blue color on the Nappa leather. I think we're having to hold off on doing the center console/doors till they release the vinyl for the color. My dude got a quote for doing those bits in the leather instead and the square footage put it at some ridiculous 1,600 dollar figure for just those.

Got them installed, they feel great! Definitely a huge upgrade over the stock seats imo

Wanting to do my seats, dash and doors...looking for recommendations on color though for a Nitro Yellow.

As much as I love red interior, I don't want to Ronald McDonald myself. Was thinking napa and maybe a tan of some kind but I'm honestly open to suggestions. Interior design is not something I am especially talented at.

Yellow is a funny colour. I honestly think your options are pretty much black, grey or red.

With a bright colour like yellow, it's best to stick to details/accents as opposed to changing the whole seat colour.

IE, deviated sticking and/or having the Badge logo sewn into the headrest area.

It's a Boxster Spyder seat, but as an example:

Great point on the accents.

something I will definitely consider when it’s time to replace the leather but not something I’m going to actively pursue

I appreciate the feedback guys thanks

I agree! Here is another example from an Aventador. Black with yellow accents looks great

Those look fantastic!! Did you get to keep the previous seat covers? I would love to buy one off of you or anyone else in any condition. I would like to disassemble the pieces so I can have a sewing pattern to make my own covers.

Or if anyone knows where you can find schematics with pattern measurements then that would work too, but I can only find the PDF from Alea Leather that just shows a mock-up of the pattern design without any measurements. I'd prefer not to rip apart my own seats until I have another cover to replace them. I can also find seats from totaled vehicles around $320 but I was hoping one of you would part with just the skins.

I love all of these pictures, I'm excited to go wild on my own upholstery!
