Default New 850R Seats (finally)

Finally had the time to finish this one. Getting all the material was the biggest challenge. It's real comfortable.

The color shift under the fluorescent light is horrible. The true color is in the in car shots.

I'll have them on my website http://www.elwoodindustries.com/id2.html 850R seats are here http://www.elwoodindustries.com/id65.html with more pics and prices. tomorrow. They won't be cheap they are not the easiest to make. But after sitting in it for awhile I think it's worth it.

I might sell the whole seat or matching set if the price is right.

Thanks guys.

I've been sitting in that seat for the past couple of days and it's not for sale. It is awesome. But, now I have to re-do the door panels ....again.. to match and the carpet. The suede is not Alcantara, it's better. I spent over $1500 on Alcantara (fabric only, the real stuff with name printed on the back) for the interior of my 36ft sailboat. It was beautiful and 4 to 5 years later it was finished and had to be done again, in a different fabric of course, and I treated it with the utmost care. Alcantara is way over rated IMO.

NO kiiding at all, you do beautiful work. When I finish my career change and finally have some income, my 96' turbo wagon seats need a facelift. I have the charcoal interior. I have saved your website and will come to you. Hopefully this will all materialize in 2011.
