Any experience reupholstering alcantara seats

[ironfist]

Does anyone have experience reupholstering the alcantara seats in a ZHP?

I see there is a part number for the alcantara seat cover, but pulling the seat apart and tensioning all the rings looks like a huge pain. Has anyone bought the part and taken it somewhere to have them replaced?

The bolsters in my '05 coupe are getting pretty beat up and I'm looking to fix them. Hoping to get some ideas on how best to do this...

Thank you!!

You can ask Shawn - elcid86. I remember he got some fabric from a rear seat and went to an upholstery place for install. GL.

I bought a rear bolster cover from Dane and went to an Upholstery shop to get it done. The guy said it was BARELY enough but it was enough. Roughly $75 or so for the fabric, and I think it was like $200-$250 to install. The seat was removed when I took it to the shop since my Recaro was installed.

I did the same from the same donor!

Saved about $25 by removing the seat.

This is slightly related but does anyone have the upholstery code for our anthracite and alcantara seats and where to source this fabric?

It's 9002 and can be found a few places, but not for cheap.

Oh wait I was referring to the cloth centers. Sorry, should've been more specific.
