I would take the template of the standard nb (which I think its called nb30p1). There dont seem to be much 8Bs around.
Also is the seats same for nb30p1 and nb30p2?

Thanks
Max Ungun

nb30p1 = nb8a 1998-2000
nb30p2 = nb8b 2001-2005

There's probably a similar number of each around, Max. However, Okibi's right in saying that you're likely to get more biz from 8a owners, simply because they're older and more of them will be due for a seat recover.

Yes I would before covers that DONT slip over the stock ones.

That way they should fit a lot better.

Also can you sew a pocket into the back of the seats (like the stock seats)?

If they're leather, i'm guessing thicker bits on the bolsters (because thats where they wear through) and perforated in the middle?

I'd be happy with all black with red baseball stitching or dark gray center sections like OEM.

The red and black are a little too \"LOOK AT ME\" for my liking and I wouldn't need any logos done :mrgreen:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

If i read it correctly you CAN have fancy stitching... 2 colours is for the iner & and outer of the seat... so in the pic on the first page the 2 colours are red and black 8)

could we get a pic of one installed on a NB8A (Insurgence's)before group buy???
or will the demo be made at the same time as the group buy ones??
I would just like to see what the quality of the NB8A one will be like beforehand

could you please confirm if stock nb8a seat covers glued to the seat foam or not?

also doesn't look like anyone answered before so here it is
The NB8A cover material is not glued on, just checked whole seat, you can pinch the cover material and pull it away from the foam :D
