Re-upholstering aftermarket seats
I have a pair of Sparco Torino's that I've owned for about five years now, in two different cars. I bought them 3rd hand from a kid who bought them from the first owner and sold them because he was too fat for them, lol. His loss was my gain, I got them super cheap.
Anywhoo, being five years old, they have a good amount of wear on them, with fabric faded, material cracked, etc. Is it feasible to have them re-upholstered somewhere or is it cheaper just buy brand new seats?

i'd imagine getting a local upholstery shop to customize the fabric with either leather or new cloth would cost the less than the price of one new seat-
if the springs and foam on the seat are still good, why change it?
contact Sparco- they might actually have the skins for replacement-
i know for the bucket seats, you can swap out the inner color foam pieces..
