I had some Corbeau seats that got torn and I called them about it. I sent them back and they totally recovered them for $70 a seat. They looked really nice and I thought that was a pretty decent price. They even fixed one of the tilt levers, maybe they just sent new seats.

Perhaps Sparco would let you send them in to get fixed.

I have found a Sparco dealer that says , yes, covers are available , but ususally aren't many in stock here in the states. He says that if they are not in the states it is typically 4-6 weeks for delivery and costs are approx $150-175.

List what you are needing here and I will relay what is needed , and if he can do I will post his contact info.

Goog question... I pulled an Evo 3 out of the Panoz that's in rough shape. Wanted to have it recovered so I can sell it.

hey if you have any contacts there I could call, please let me know. I've emailed them twice and haven't heard back. no sweat either way, I already ordered an ultrashield for the race car but would like to utilize the evo for the street car if possible.

'perciate it.

they do have replacement covers but they do not reupholster the foam. I think sparcousa said $175 for an evo cover.

thanks for the effort raft.

Eric,

I've had a couple of my Sparco seats redone. You can purchase the material from Wine Country Motorsports in Palm Beach and then take it to someone that can redo the seat for you. If you can't find someone locally I have a guy here in Hollywood that did mine and does a great job. Looks like a factory job. I think he charged me $125.
You have my number, give me a call if you need more info.
