i am calling out to the css.net people for help to find out what the fabric our seats are made out of?
I know the gray insert is a suede like ultralux but what is the black mesh like fabric?

 

leather... lol j/k ... good question i'd like to know as well!

 

Sub'd for answers.

 

i found it ! they have a book that has all of the stock fabric samples in it from gm called "detroit book" and here are the numbers for the fabric in the seat up above

05.557 ebony impression (black mesh)
09.9235 lt gray suede amaretta (gray insert)

 

id like to put red inserts into my black seats.

 

its a mesh fabric on the sides. I like it as it breathes.

 

ok now here is the killer!
the black mesh fabric is $60 a yard
the Lt Grey suede is $200 a yard ouch!! What do they think this is gucci!

 

I'm glad they didn't skimp out on the seats. Just kind of wish they didn't skimp out on the rest of the vehicle as well (trim, sunroof, rear brakes)

 

ha I love that this thread was made thanks! I was planing on doing this research myself, I want to wrap the headliner with the black mesh

 

cool book https://rs6.eporia.com/pv_obj_cache/...ly%20Cloth.pdf

 

ooo^^^ I'd have to see that, or do the dash with that $200 a yd stuff

 

where did the pricing come from? the book aswell?

 

most likely will do it in the summer, My current setup is dyed and I hate how the texture is now.

I thought about the dash many times, the biggest issue is our ac vents are molded in, so ending the fabric at that edge will be difficult to do.

 

it'll jus be tough to have it come out looking nice.. I'm looking into jus doin the CF vinyl wrap an leaving the rest as is

 

here is the link to the detroit book i found the fabric # in Under Cover Upholstery - Detroit Book 2009 Upholstery Fabric Samples its the 7 and 9 pic

i asked at my local store Rusmart Auto Upholstery and they looked it up from there supplier and that was the prices they gave me. They have other books that have the fabrics listed but under other product # but still listed under cobalt fabric

 

ah ok thanks

 

Same here!

 

I found it for around 30 per yard here. Miami Corp: distributor of trim products to the auto, marine and upholstery trades.

So the UltraLux interior came in Ebony for the Grand Prix and that is what they list for onlt $28/yd. Code C6552.06 looks like this in a 2005 model:


...and a TC for comparison.

Looks a little different then the ebony from the TC seats but just maybe it's the lighting. Who wants to be a guinea pig and buy some?
