Sorry, but E30 Sport seat covers.

[Dudeland]

A while ago I found a person that had E30 sport seat covers, for the life of me I can't find the link.   Who is doing covers for these seats now?   I am looking for the Tan that came in the 75 2002. I am facing down a long cold winter and wondering if I should tackle the seats as they are taking up space in my basement. 

 

Wondering about parts as well. 

 

Thanks in advance

Sorry esty, I should have known you had the answers.  Great price, I guess I will have to reach out to get them made in the 1975 color, or is the Beige for the 84-91 the same as what I have?

 

Perhaps I should do the door cards as well, that way I don't have to worry about it. 

 

 

Regards

i can't tell you if their colors will match what you want...i just picked a color...i've dyed one set from tan to saddle

Is ECS tuning still a good place to get parts?

for parts i'd start with blunttech, rock auto, autohausAZ, pelican...use google

Choose whether you have seat heaters or not.

no.  pelican, turner and ECS are all part of the same evil empire of poor customer service and wildly optimistic estimates on when parts may be available.  avoid all three.  they are the same big company.

 

Blunttech, IE, FCPEuro for parts.

 

L-Seat for seat covers.

Thanks.  I seem to remember with Pelican that I had orders hanging some time due to B/O parts.  The person I talked to was very polite.  Being a Canuck, this is something we always remember. We often get bumped into by someone else and say sorry, it would be rude otherwise.

They all will only have the standard colors/patterns, out of the ordinary is out for the E30...I had mine made due to the fabric....not leather.

I was considering fabric, as I may not be able to keep the A/C with a turbo,  fabrics would be cooler that is for sure.

Sportseats in leather don't hold you in place as well as cloth either, so if you are of the sporting sort...don't go for leather.

never understood the deal with leather seats in cars.   sweaty in summer, cold in winter, slippery in turns.  just not the right material for sports car seats.
