I can't find any tan "race" seats. I'm not looking for certified seats just the cheap things you can get on Ebay for $150 a pair. Any one got a good site to get cheapo seats from?

All Google could find me were tan leather racing seats.

Could you find a cheap set of seats and take it to an upholsterer? That's always an option.

The cheap ones I bought turned out to be "off-white" instead of tan. I'm going to spray dye them with some SEM.

Summit has tan ones - I'm considering myself currently

Never thought of colouring white seats.

Looked at those too. Might be an option of last resort.

I've been wondering about this too, I have an E30 with a tan interior. Haven't decided if I'll try to restore the Recaros, which aren't actually that bad aside from a broken tilt mechanism that might be fixable, or go aftermarket, though.

I've seen these in person - I think at OG Racing in VA. Very spendy...

but very pretty.

I am on the hunt for some proper "sports" seats for the saab. Either from an A2 VW or an E30

A friend of mine did this on his car. He bought a pair of used Recaros and had them reupholstered. The fabric doesn't exactly match the stock rear seats but the color is right on and you'd have to be a car guy to really notice the fabric difference. Don't know cost, though.

The Recaros pictured above look very nice.
