Default Interior upgrade

Well I think i;ve done enough to the exterior of my car for now and I am now looking to improve my interior. I was wondering if anyone has upgraded to leather seats and whom they bought them from. If anyone knows a good company that sells leather seat covers please tell me.

you can remove all your seats and give em to an auto upholstery shop, have them stick REAL COWHIDE LEATHER to them and heat sweat em to the old cushion.


I did this and gucci on the panels, same color as the paint. Takes 1-3 weeks depending if your style is in stock and how far behind they are.

If you give them your car, you just upped the anti alot ! They dont like any mechanical work most of the time

Smells like stankin leather, I love it every time

You can get GT leather take off interiors all over the web. Roush and others take them out of new cars and sells the skins for resale as used takeoff parts this is just one link to a site that sales them.

Sorry if this is a dumb question ... can a custom upholsterer put leather on seats that were originally cloth with the side airbags?

Do they just cut the cloth and make a new leather pattern over the existing seats?

Yep, they re-stitch the surrounding pieces with the new leather ones, following the old stich marks.
