Got some Sparco seats for $200

What do you guys think? Is there some place I can get replacement fabric for them? They are in superb condition besides the fading as they were in a spec e30.

Considering a set of new Sparcos go for $1000+ I'd say yes, and not only that but these are impossible to find. Made in 1993. I like them better than the newer ones.

Yeah the guy was asking $250 and I went to San Jose to check them out but found out I only had $200 in the bank, he said he'd take $200 since I made the trip down there. Also got to check out the pick-n-pull.

He had a sick turbo RX7 he was changing the engine out of.

Do you think they could possibly re-dye the fabric? Its in perfect condition sans fading.
