I have an 83gt hatchback with weathered and faded seats. The foam is in great condition, but the material is not. I’m a little confused as to what upholstery fits these seats. I’ve been online looking, but I’m not sure what makes an exact match. I will most likely do the back seat as well. Looking for any advice or links please!?!?

I have no opinion other than those are rare seats to find in nice shape! And from the pics they look decent. Do they have a rips or tears? Or just faded?
I wonder if they are just faded if you can have them dyed?
What were these seats called? The back seat and passenger seat are in good condition, besides the fact that they are sun faded. The drivers seat has 1 cigarette burn and there is a patch of material missing from the left upper back rest.Quote:

I have the entire rear seat from my 84 with exactly the same material. I also have a Recaro race seat that was re upholstered in exactly that material.
My understanding is that this material was no longer available about 10 yrs ago, at least in bulk. Not sure if TMI or someone has the pre stitched covers for them or not. This material was only used for a couple of model yrs 83-84 I believe.
