Did he do the installation himself or go to an upholstery shop? Because I don't think I would do a very good job installing the leather seat covers. <grin>

RE: Brand New Factory Seats?
How did it come out? Did it look like a new seat?
I just called an Upholstery shop and asked how much for both front seats to be done and they quoted me $700 for each seat, which is $1400 dollars total. This included all parts (leather included) and labor. I was like, "Holy crap". Better to just find a mint condition seat on Ebay.

Did that include putting new padding... i heard putting new padding can be a lot more expensive because there is a lot more sewing involved.

Jon,
At those prices I am thinking more and more about doing it myself. No way am I paying 1400 dollars, but I do want it to look professional and not some crappy job. I guess I'll just have to take my time on them and get the leather right. If you redo your seats, let me know how it goes.

umm the 1400$ quote was for them to make the covers from scratch i imagine, so if you provide them with covers it will be cheaper labor wise, i dont see the labor being more than 4 hours for already made covers. im pretty undecided for what im gonna do with mine, if i can pick up a set of used mach 1 seats for a decent price, thatd would be alot easier than recovering mine.
