Step 1 - Seat Selection and Options
For built to order seating we first work with you to determine the right seat model for you and your vehicle.
Once your seat is selected you can customize your seat with the following options.
- Adjustable Lumbar
- Arm Rests
- Heat
- Map Net
Step 2 - Upholstery and Stitching Selection
For built to order there are additional premium upholstery options which can be paired with matching or contrasting stitching. We can send you upholstery swatches you can choose from to touch and feel and see with your own eyes to aid in the selection. At this time we cannot use customer supplied materials, if your project requires something outside of our offerings, please reach out and we can discuss your vision.
Step 3 - Production
Once the details are finalized we will take payment and place your order in the queue. Our special projects team of craftsmen in Germany will take it from there. The turnaround time is typically up to 16 weeks. This time includes sourcing the materials from our vendors, forming your seat foam, manufacturing all of the metal components, upholstering, final hand assembly of your seats, and crating them for transport. Please note there are no returns on custom orders.
Step 4 - Delivery
As soon as production is complete your Built To Order Seat will be delivered via UPS Air Express.
FAQ
How long will it take to get my order?
Built to order seats can take up to 16 weeks to turn around, once your order has been placed and payment recieved. Payment in full is required for custom orders.
How much does a Built to Order seat cost?
The exact cost of your seat will of course depend on the particular configuration of seat and options you create. You can look at the stock seat costs on our website as a starting point. The only added costs for custom orders are a shipping and processing fee, as well as any potential upgrade depending on the upholstery options you choose. Feel free to call or email us for a detailed price quote. The added shipping and processing fee is typically $370 for most seats and $400 for XXL and integrated seatbelt seats.
Why does shipping cost more on Built to Order seats?
Custom orders need to be sent via air-frieght which costs more. Our typical stock products are sent via shipping container which is inherently quite slow. Additionally we send our containers full, and they are booked out a year or more in advance, making the logistics of including custom orders in our container impractical and the turn around time too long. For these reasons custom orders are only sent via air-freight and with that they carry the extra cost as detailed in the question above.
Can I provide the upholstery material?
Unfortunately, no. Due to both the need to warranty the product as well as ensure the material will conform properly to the organic shape of the seats we can not use customer supplied materials.
