Blaze's AE86

Quote: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.

If I'm being honest the best thing I can recommend to you is you find a shop that carries loads of upholstery materials and just have a look around their inventory. Seing and touching materials by the light of day makes it much easier to decide what you like.
I went to the building of this webshop: https://www.skai-leer.nl/categorie/premium-skai/, which is where I found most of what I used by browsing through sample books.
The leatherette in the link is what I've used in the previous picture by the way. Decent quality and I like the look of it, not too different from OEM. Have used a cheaper one on my own seats (I'm sure it will hold up fine), but this stuff is a little heavier, more elastic, and feels like it will last for ages.

By the way, here's a pic of a Seven sample card, shows up the colors a bit better. There is a darker red (wine red) too.
