just upgraded my interior
Hi all,
Just thought I'd share some pics of my "new" upgraded interior. I have a 1995 L model that had cloth seats. Since the first day I got the car a couple of years ago, I always wanted to get the leather/suede (well, fake leather and fake suede) combo seats. Finally did it. I love them. The rear seat and passenger seat are in great condition (practically new). The driver's side has some wear, but considering it came off of a car with 91k on the dial, it looks good. Pics can be found in my locker: http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/user.php?nordique14 The new seats go well with the leather steering wheel/gear shift/parking brake upgrade I did when I got the car. I just didn't like the old rubber versions at all. I took lots of pics of the cover switching process. I thought it would be a complicated procedure, but it was actually pretty easy. No special tools are necessary. But it was time consuming (about 4 hours per seat). I'm going to write up a how-to for the new How-to Documents section. Hopefully have it ready in a couple of days. I still have the old cloth covers. Don't need 'em. Don't want 'em. If you want them, let me know. Take one, take all(including the headrest covers). Just cover the shipping and they are yours. Check out the pics under the "old interior" folder in my locker. If you are interested send me a PM. Special thanks go out to MacGyver (aka Troy) who lived up to his name and gave me a couple of great ideas that saved me tons of frustration. Also, thanks to Dayle at Motorsport-SVX for quickly taking care of a problem with the rear seat cover. If you want new seat covers, give Dayle a call, I'm sure he'd be happy to hook you up. I'm so happy with the way it turned out. My butt now rides in style. ![]() Cheers, Matt |

I agree, the seats look great. I have a 92 LS with the suede seats and find them to be very comfortable. I wish mine still looked that good!
Enjoy ![]() |

New seats look real nice, good job on the install.
In the pics of the rear seats it looks like there are 2 velcro strips on the center bottom of the seats, what are you using them to hold down? |

Thanks for the kudos. I'm more than pleased with the way the seats turned out. The fake suede is much nicer than the cloth. Matt |

I like the way the "suede" breaks up the back seats. Has sort of a bucket look to them.
Nice job. Randy ii |

I have thoes seats in my 92, It amazed me the number of SVXr's at Reading and the Tristate meet that had never seen them before. personally I do like them more than the leather seats but I agree on hating the rubber steering wheel and brake lever, or and the shift lever but I don't have that anymore.

Due to my extreme height (I'm easily the tallest SVX owner), I had to get a SVX without a sunroof. I was thinking about the 92 LS model, but I couldn't stand the mechanical seatbelts. The 94-97 L models were the only ones without a sunroof, but they had cloth seats. So I had a choice between the lesser of two evils (mechanical belts or cloth seats). I figured that I could change out the seats easier than change out the belts. Two years later, I finally got around to it. Couldn't have been better. Cheers, Matt |
