Default Reupholstering stock cloth seats?

I'm thinking about getting the innermost part of my cloth seats reupholstered in red cloth, has anyone done this? Pics please? And how much do you guys think it would cost? Thanks.

subscribing - I want to know this too, because my seats are fraying pretty bad.

I had mine reupholstered from regular cloth. Got leather sides and headrests, black perforated suede, all red stiching, and the headrests embroidered with the logo. Also had heaters added (a very nice feature I use a lot). The suede is great becuase it eliminates sliding around on leather (holds you right in place) and it doesn't get nearly as cold/hot as having all leather. About $1100 and change.

Enjoy!

i redid the leather covers, but i had a compnay make the new ones. As for adding in your own new cloth, its do able, but idk if its a diy. But once you get the covers, you could redo the seats yourself.

Took me 1.5-2hrs a piece in my living room. Need hog rings and hog ring pliers and a ton of patience.

I did mine a couple of years ago, cloth to leather, and used HD plastic zip ties instead of those stupid hog rings. Worked great and still good.

those all look hot

has anyone done just a simple cloth job though? what I want is basically just red centers, and a "350Z" or maybe just a "Z" on the headrest in silver. That part I'm not so concerned with, its the price of getting someone (definately not a DIY for me) to stitch on red cloth in the center.
