Speedster Seats | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I am trying to get seats made for my fibreglass shells from TR. There were many seat pics posted on thesite, but I lost the thread. I want to peruse as many as I can to present to the upolsterer, so any that y'all can supply willbe appreciated. I want to add some headrests also, so suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks,

GG

headrests on a stock style 356 seat? That'll look terrible.

Why not go with 914 seats? Much cheaper and already have a headrest and are pretty close in style.

I had my seats done. i cut the foam, reinforced the fiberglass, drilled holes / mounted wood tack strips and it still cost me ~$500 to get them reupholstered. To do from scratch is time consuming. If i were to do it again - i'd start with a pattern (like the one on ebay right now) and get the upholstery shop to make one in the colour/material of choice.
