After 3 hours seat driver seat is finished





Excuse the big pictures, thought they would come out smallish lol, still have to heat the seat up to get rid of small wrinkles that are in few places

 

nice man, iam looking forward to seeing some better pics

 

are those covers?? where did you get that done?

 

Not covers, it's a skin you put on instead of oem material, ebayed it

 

Looks pretty interesting. Definintely in for better pics.

 

just starting on the passenger seat, stay tuned for proper pics =)

 

Where did you buy them? My bolsters are getting a little warn and I want all red skins.

Looks great. How hard was it to recover the seats?

 

Ebay, theres few vendors selling leather skins, place i bought mine from was realleather1 so i can vouch for them as they did come in one piece and in leather, try bidding on one of their auctions to get lower price.

... god my fingers are sore from stripping the oem material, i should invest in some gloves...

 

Finished the passenger seat, finally

 

How much did this cost(the skins I mean). Would you be willing to do this for the labor?

 

Skins go for 500-700 on ebay, you may bid on one of the auctions to perhaps get lower price... Regarding labor, i will have to give it a thought and ill get back to you via pm

 

Why the second thread???

 

Eh don't pay for labor... it's a ***** of a job not because it's hard but because it's time consuming and requires precision... at least 50/h would be fair and you'd be looking at at least 200$ labor for both lol.

Then again, if you've got $ to burn.. go for it? I did this procedure once with a friend of mine on his camaro... I'd tackle it over a few days if your cars in storage, it'll be way better than an overnight / over the weekend job.

 

^ It is quite easy to do it your self if you have patience and time, If you want i can whip up a quick DIY without pictures though, however there are few pictures online i can refer to.

Only took really needed is the hog-ring pliers which i found only at princess auto around richmond hill/newmarket area, and that cost only 9.99

Edit; mind you i have looked in to few shops around and they quoted me 1k-3k lol

 

looking good buddy. looking forward to seeing it in person

loving the matching couoch btw.lol

 

looks good

 

Nice man, I want to see them in person after you use the heat gun and the get broken in. (all the wrinkles and fold will be smoothed out)

 

Steamer, heatgun i thinik will ruin the leather/material, the air i believe has to be moist

 

wait, so you take the OEM leather off and replace with this? Do they sell it for powered seats too? And can you just buy it for one seat? Sorry for the deluge of questions.

 

i had cloth, they sell for all kinds, custom order. not sure about one seat, contact few ebay vendors, im sure they all get it form the same factory lol
