I have a set of Euro E24 Recaro LS front seats in my car. The driver's seat is showing enough wear, cracks and such that I am looking into replacing the leather I'll admit to neglecting it, so I want to correct that. The passenger side is in great shape so I am hoping to match the passenger side to avoid doing it as well.
I have sent an inquiry about these (with a swatch request): https://www.lseat.com/products/recaro-i ... front.html. Has anyone used these folks? Has anyone here ever recovered their seats with replacement hides? Any other sources for replacement leather along these lines? I'm open to ideas and suggestions.
This and the AC system apgrade are the next projects on my list.

Re: Replacing seat leather
I've ordered leather to recover front sport seats from World Upholstery 10 years ago.

Re: Replacing seat leather
I have seen a couple people do L seats with good success.
They are not flawless, but definitely still decent!

Re: Replacing seat leather
When I ordered a sample piece, it matched up really well. Currently I think the leather and color have held up really good, when the front seats were rebuilt my shop ordered all new cushions too.Jlc wrote: ↑Tue Mar 01, 2022 10:28 pmHow are they?
