Blaze's AE86

[Blaze0010]

Yes i've requested some samples of fake leather of the same brand (textaafoam), more precisely is called Aston, while the velvet is called Seven.
I am not really satisfied of the fake leather, while it seems a good product, i doesn't look to have the same kind of finish compared to the oem.
The oem is smooth and more lucid, while this one is more soft the touch and doesn't reflect the same.
I was thinking to try with a more generic vinyl found on amazon that looks more like the original one.

They indeed look quite nice, and even if the material is not the same, it has a nice look!

I don't know the brand of the cloth, but it's been super sturdy, quite a bit stronger than the original, but not as fine grained on the surface. I'm happy with the result, it's a very durable cloth. Also, the chairs got much stiffer foam, so they feel almost like bucket seats.
