Default Changing Upholstery!

so I have a question...where is the best place to get replacement upholstery....I can either get my seats (which are shot) re-wrapped....or buy new seats <<that's what I think I should do

its an 87 Mustang GT T-Top Red w/ red interior

I want to get some leather in her :-)

any suggestions?

I want the benches in the back and two leathers in the front

completely open to matching colors

anyone?

Take them up to an upholstery shop that re-does seats and furniture.
Will look better and proably cost the same or less. And you have more
control over colors and fabrics

you mean re-wrap the crap seats I have already...

I honestly think that the 87 seats are REALLY ugly...I have the red cloth ones

Good upholstery shop can make them look like you
want.

If you want to swap a whole seat. Check out the the '03-'04 Cobra seats
you can get them on ebay and such from time to time. then have them
recovered. Gonna cost big bucks though.
