Leather kits for the svx?

SVXMAN2001 · #1 02-22-2003, 03:38 PM

Hey guys i was wondering if anyone knew of any leather kits for the svx. After 11 years of abuse i think my seats need an uplift. Anyone know where to get a kit for the front two seats and rear seats for a reasonable price and are made of quality leather. I know dayle has some, but iam not so keen on the two tone, i just want black charcoal, like stock. Would anyone be interested in a group buy if it turns up there is someone who makes a leather kit? Thanks in advance

It looks like this place has the patterns on file for SVX.

Reasonable pricing too.

The OE seat covers are only about $1200 per front seat from the dealer...

I checked that place out, Beav... it looks like they don't have svx listed as an application.

Most upholstery suppliers will be able to produce whatever you want as long as the vehicle was a mass produced model. Generally I've found that if one company can supply a pattern it's usually available elsewhere. A phone call would be easy enough to make. Besides, a little competiton is a good thing...

Why not replace the seats all together?

lwin, not sure if i understand you. Are you suggesting buy brand new oem seats from subaru? or releather all the existing ones? OR buy aftermarket seats. Iam going the releather route because it's much more economical compared to buying brand new oem seats, and aftermarket doesn't really appeal to me (surprisingly, at least for seats that is)

I am looking at aftermarket or different seats from different (newer) car.

interesting lwin, what have you come up with so far?

Someone once told me that his camary seats fits and are much better. I have yet to try it out. I had been busy lately and sick as well.

I'm not digging the two tone much but having "SVX" embroidered on the seat backrest would look nice.

Try this on for size??

My red Mitsu does track duty and I have decided to replace the stock dark grey leather seats (which are power and perfect) with MOMO performance units....

Guess where those seats are going...... my SVX, of course!!!

The size is perfect, better bolsters, same power features and a similar mounting system (4 bolts): sure there will be a bit of fiddling but the seats are way more supportive than the SVX, are very available: SO WHY not!!!!

The svx seats are mounted with 5 bolts.

Let me know how it goes. I would love to pick up some 3kgt seats and put them in the svx. How does the color match up?
