Seat Re-Covering--Fine Example

Post by motormike »

Deserving of another look is the seat re-cover that is found on member: novs86's Aero 50.
As stated in the thread, material was used from Acura. The red stitching is a very nice touch, especially for a red scoot. The upholstery shop has done a bang-up job on the fit, and this example is too fine to go un-noticed. Kudos to novs86 for such an awesome looking seat..... :urban:

+2, motormike! :mrgreen:

Definitely Beautiful Work... If I had to get an Aero seat recovered, -i would go with a "Spark" Red (Honda color) vinyl, then I would have it stitched just like Nov's seat with red stitches... It would look really factory / oem, but custom! :smile:

That is nice - so it is leather? Aren't original seats vinyl?

AWESOME~!

Let's do a "group buy" on this....Let's see if this FINE upholstery shop would consider a special rate if we can get together 4-18 Aero 50 seats for re-upholstery services. :thumbwink:

Give me the # to the shop and I'll see what I can do to perpetuate this....
'87 Aero 50 STOCK (only 350miles)
'87 Aero (AF16 Corsa-PG-Short-OKO24mm-8.44)
'86 Aero (AF16 Corsa-SEF Black-OKO21mm-8.44)

That is an awesome looking seat....can't deny.
The thing that makes that Aero seat look so good is the leather.... 8)
