Leather seat replacements
I’m posting this for a friend who has an 87 coupe.
He is going to recover his seats and has a choice between the perforated and a non-perforated seating surface. They are available both ways.
What is the advantage of one over the other? His main concern is tearing between the tiny holes in the perforated type. He also wants to keep the car as original as possible.
My input was that the non-perforated seat would be really hot and sweaty.
Thanks !

Go for the Perfs. I found a new set on ebay and am very happy with them. Also make sure to replace the seat foams, well worth the extra bucks. :yesnod:

I believe the perforated was stock for sport seats.

Non perforated can get sweaty in very muggy hot weather
Perforated will rip sooner.
Choices, choices.
