Default Reupholstering sparco seats

I just bought some Sparcos from a friend that came out of his track car. The fabric is a little rough so I want to get them recovered. Will I lose the FIA stamp on the side? I need this so I can take the car to Sebring.

Nope. Assuming the label isn't covered by the seat cover and you don't have the upholstery shop cover the label for some reason.

Stamp is on the fiberglass. Assuming they don't cover the whole seat (normal skins are tethered with a wire) should be fine.

You can buy replacement seat skins from Sparco.

So if its just DE their tech sheet doesn't even cover seats. I'd wager you'll be fine. Enjoy the power hour at the end of the day!
