Default Wanted: Custom Seat Brackets and Upholstery shop to do suede on doors/dash

Hey guys...

Just as the title states..I just got some seats that need custom made brackets to fit...do you guys know ANYWHERE locally that can get this done effectively and cheaply?

Furthermore, I'm looking into suede/alacantra wrapping the dashboard and the door panels...any good shops in the area or any ideas what this might cost to get done?

Thanks so much!
Ravi

Do you have the sliders? I would think that any good body shop would be able to fab up some brackets. Otherwise, look at local machine shops in your area.

what kind of seats are they? You can probably just get the brackets from the seat manufacturer.

JT, they are actually a universal seat...they are non branded. They come with a universal slider, but no brackets are made by this company. I am thinking of just buying some sparco brackets and crossing my fingers..what ar eyou thoughts?

Thanks man..

yeah, you might have more luck getting sparco ones. If they fit, then awesome! If they don't, it'll be easier for a shop to alter those brackets than to fab new ones.

Hit up member "G352NV", he's got pimp-azz suede on his G35 and I'm guessing he can tell you where.
