Talking My new custom leather seats!

As most of you know, my car was damaged by an upholstery shop when they were completing the seat fraying TSB. I didn't really like the new material, because it was rougher than the original, and to make up for wrecking my car, the owner of the shop agreed to install leather seats for me. I figured he would throw on some Katzkin's or something, but he went all out and custom made me new seat covers, with gray and black leather, and reused the original back part of the seat. I've seen other aftermarket leather, but imho, nothing looks as good as these seats for fit and finish.

Vendor is :
Leo Fulleda
Custom Craft Seat Cover & Convertible
Tucker, GA
770-939-8746

He said they would charge around $1500 for this job, if they had charged me, but if you are in atlanta and want custom leather, I can't recommend him highly enough.

Here's the pics:

guess that fact that messed up your car and seats was a blessing in disguise.
btw, did they repair the rim?? or did they just replace it??

thanks everyone. yes it looks like it will turn out well. The upholsterer was able to work out a deal with a shop he uses, and if for any reason I'm not satisfied with their work, won't charge and I can have it redone elsewhere. I had the rim repaired at www.wheeltechnologies.com , but it didn't turn out that great, so I have ordered another from iforged, in just 5-9 short weeks I'll be rolling on my 19s again! It was an honest accident the guy made backing my car into a truck, and I really don't want to hose him over, so if its easier for him, I'm gonna do it his way. Its going in the body shop monday. The dealer is a whole nother story though, stay tuned for that post when I take the time to compose it in a few days. Until then, if you are in Atlanta, avoid Gwinnett Place Nissan like the plague!

They look great, very similar to Katzkin but different enough to stand out a little. Nice colors and it looks to be a top notch install. Thank Nissan for their crappy seats.

You don't know how right you are about that! I had to have the seat back foam replaced on the drivers side. The guy said it was a terrible design and they are all going to fall apart eventually. They have a reinforcement at the top 1/3rd of the seat and at the bottom 1/3rd, but the middle is just the foam, and its thin near the seams, so it rips rather easily. He reinforced mine a little to try to make up for the bad design.
