in SG, fabric seat > leather seat. Park under the sun if u no believe.

For TS, try giving 8cushion a call, i hear they are decent.

My only wish list is M sport package (which includes M sport seats. Otherwise not sart).

I believe u. That's why i try to avoid parking under the sun.

My experience. Don't do it unless you seat is crapped and worn out.

the stitching though done professionally will never be the same as factory fitted. There will be stitching that is not straight, exposed leather cutting at the bottom headrest no where near factory standards. Worst, leather on door trim will not flashed on the plastic trimming and metal.

Unless don't mind imperfection on a new car.

Re: Converting to Leather Seat

Well, reviving old thread, in case you haven't done the leather yet..

i had a A3 with fabric. Did the leatherseat upgrade with Jackspeed. their work was beautiful... includes seats, door panels and the hand rest in the middle console. Audi specifically asked me to go to Jackspeed because the A3 has its side airbags in the seats and if you don't go to approved fitter, the warranty is off...

but at that time, they (premium automobile) also gave me a $1000 JS voucher... so i only paid another $700


The new F20LCI comes with some synthetic leather... so i can save the money...
