Alcantara (or however it's spelled, Google can autocorrect for you) is the Recaro "suede" type. The other that is the perforated soft fabric is called Recaro "Jersey" material.

I did not know that recaro used "red suede." I always thought that they used "jersey" style material.

Thanks guys. So the red suede from corsport is $45/yard.

I might think about doing the seats when they're worn out. Don't feel like buying new seats. Never know though. Might just get some replicas.

So it seems that the sides are suede and the middle section is the jersey style. At least for the older civic styles. I don't like the two tone look of black and red.
