Let us know what the cost quotes are - have been thinking of doing the same thing
or seeing if my Euro connections can get me factory leather/alcantara seat covers for the front seats.

i've priced it out too. $200 bucks per seat plus the alcantara...
the alcantara is not easy to come by either as it has to be the "milano" variety (specified for use in cars). i know when jenner did his seats he got the ultra suede from ucc motorwerks (but they only have silver and blue). good luck with the "mod", and i look forward to pix!

well..
i actually found the perfect color in ultra suede so, it's going to be ordered once he gives me a quote.. that part is figured out.. not to mention his 'retail price' was listed at $139 a yard, but when i mentioned i could get it myself for $100 a yard (uuc but they didnt' have my color i was playing hard ball) he quickly changed his tune to keep my business. so, i to get it for $100 a yard (his price supposedly) then it's just the install. also, i'm getting the audi rings embroidered on the headrests in red, if i didnt' mention it..
