...covered in FULL leather?

 

God knows I wish they were.....

I hate that fake suede cloth sh!7

looks cool...but i far prefer the feel of leather....and while we're at it...that patter they print into the leather makes it look fake

When I get my truck I am thinking of recovering the center bottom seat with leather. I am sure I will end up spilling coffee on it, and leather will be easier to clean.

I had the opportunity to hang out with some SVT Engineers lately, and I asked the same question(among many others).

The answer I got was that leather would have been too slippery for vehicles like ours.
I don't mind the fake suede, but any other color but powder grey would have been great.
Just my .02....

Oh, yeah. They had a Recaro SVT Lightning bucket seat..... UGLY!!!!

Everything that I've been in that's leather has made my a$$ slip and slide all over the place. I couldn't imagine making a 90 degree at 45mph on leather! The fake suede is MUCH BETTER in my book.

DUCK

 

Real suede would still be nice....
So they tack on a couple extra $$$.

 

i like the way the seats feel when i go out for a drive naked...

 

Me Too!! The nice thing about them not being real suede, and that they are scotchguarded, is that the skid marks come out easily.

HAHAHAHAHAHA !!!,,,98

 

I tossed the idea about spandex or leather and chose the later.

The one thing that annoys me is when running late for a show and experiencing rhythmical flatulence, the reverb causes disorientation.

Sad indeed.

Funny that leather is too slipper for "Vehicle like ours" yet the SVT countour and cobra both come with leather standard. Interesting indeed.

If the seat was well designed with proper bolstering, then sliding would not be a prob.
