Cloth Recaro Seats

Is it possible to wrap the stock cloth Recaro seats and back bench seat in leather? Has anyone done this?

you can wrap anything in leather. It will not look like the stock leather Recaros from the factory in most cases.

I had my cloth recaros upholstered. You have to contact an upholstery company like katzkin, custom soft trim, etc and they can make a custom set of covers for you. Then have them installed locally. You can pick every option. It costs about a grand. I chose alcantara inserts. They also did my middle console. I also replaced my roof liner, visors, door inserts with black suede and painted all the grey pillars black. I also painted all other grey or chrome parts black. Wrapped the fake carbon fiber dash parts in a woven fabric and added all the redline goods (e-brake, shift boot, steering wheel and seatbelt pads). My interior is now black on black on black. Looks great now, as I hated the 2 color look, worn out seat edges and worn steering wheel.

Pics didn't work weird

When I add pics from my device every pic is this dude buying a black mr at the dealership. They all download and then turn into that pic. No clue who that is weird. See below:
