If any one is looking at refinishing the interior of their third gen, Please take a look at birdsandbowties.com website. I just ordered seats from the covergirl out of florida and i was blown away by her quality of work. She did custom perforated centers with solid outers and custom door panels. everything was done over e-mails and your wallet won't hurt when you are finished. This work is show quality. I work on a sprint cup race team full time and in a rod and custom shop on my spare time. and everone that sees my seats is blown away. i will try to load some of my pictures when i get a chance to take them. But check her website out or e-mail her at covergirlupholstery@mchsi.com.

Good to know....got any pics of the door panels (I'm looking for ideas).

Yeah we'd like to see some pics! So what exactly is ultra leather anyways?

Thanks for the tip, seat covers are high on my to-do list

Basicallly, it's a high end leather alternative..ie fake leather.

I got guoted $245.00 (including shipping to Canada) for the pair. They use new everything (backboard, foam, clips, etc). They basically make a new door panel from scratch. They can also do two-tone.

I just discovered this place today on my local craigslist. It's actually only about 40 miles from me so I think I may drive over and check them out. The seats on their website look great!

Haha, me too. Im over in pensacola. Like really close, maybe ill swing by them

u got a pic of the seats man??

Very nice work. Thoses seats look factory. It is amazing how new seats can improve a cars looks. Sure worked for my car.

How much do they charge for seats? And to thye make the covers and send them to you or do you ship the stuff to them first?

I had to drive over to their place yesterday to get a few body parts for my GTA. While I was there I checked out the Covergirls upholstery work. She does a really good job, and yes they do look factory. I have definately decided that I will use her to recover my GTA seats. FYI, she quoted me $600, which I think is a pretty good deal.

wow those 93-97 houndstooth on her page look awesome.

Thanks everyone for your nice compliments. I appreciate that. I love doing car interior. For the guy on here that asked about sending just the covers or the whole seat. I can make just the covers if you want to install them yourself. I also offer to recover the seats I have here at my place and send the whole seat ready to bolt in for the people who don't want to mess with installing the covers themselves. You can email me for price quotes depending on what you want. I have three jobs going right now and just got another one this morning. I am swamped, but that is good. I had one last set of 93-97 Camaro seats left to recover in any color somebody wanted and that is the job I sold this morning. I will have to find more 93-97 Camaro seats to have in stock. Anyways, email any questions you may have. I like hearing from everyone on here. It seems like everybody so far is pretty cool!

how much for just the covers ,front and back?

Seconding this request. Very curious. Thanks!

Just for the covers for front and rear would be $400.00

That is some terrific work. I could use a shifter boot in my 87 GTA. The price is right to.

Wow! Nice work Covergirl! I am gonna get some seat covers for sure and maybe some other stuff...

Hi, thanks!! Just let me know when your ready.

Her work is amazing. I ordered my shift boot on thursday and got it today! It looks sooo nice in my car, just made that eyesore of a torn boot go away Id recommend the covergirl for any interior upholstery, her workmanship is the best.

Definitely keep this thread alive! I want to make sure these guys stay in business. They are phenomenal.

Do you sell the foam cushions also?

I'm doing my part. Haha.

Same here lol, I'm redoing my interior next summer and this looks awesome, definitely the way to go!

Her prices are fair too ...

Hello, no I don't sell the foam cushions. I just take the old seats and rebuild the foam up in them. The brand new foam cushions are NOT cheap. When I am finished and you sit in your seats, you would swear the foam is brand new in them.
----------
Yes, you have definately been doing your part.

OK, the biggest prob I have is when I get new covers, the foam will need doing, but I am in Australia so shipping whole seats over wouldn't be worth it. What shoulds I do about the seat foams if I order some nice new covers from you? Is this one of those jobs that can be done by me or do I need to find an someone to do it for me?

I will soon get some pictures of my car with the seats installed here shortly. I am the one that started the thread. I promise, you will be happy with her work. I have completely restored my 92 rs. I work in a race shop and a street rod shop in the evenings sometime. i took my seats to the rod shop and left them laying there and these rod guys loved them. trust me!!!! we are working on a 32roadster that a doctor own's, remember one seat and door panels. he has over $8000.00 from a custom shop here in charlotte. any questions feel free to ask me about mine. i had her do custom on my 92 seats, and they are great!!!!

Hi, yes you could probably do it yourself it is is not too bad. You have to get a good brand glue and you just cut and build up the foam back to where it used to be. I know I make this sound easy, but it really isn't very hard if you just look at the foam and think about it. You can use the other side of your seat for reference. I use 1/8", 1/4", and 1/2" foam to reconstruct the foam on the seat. I hope this helps. Just don't build it up too much or it will look lop sided if you know what I mean, like crooked.

very nice work i am very impressed. great job.

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Let me see your installed seats in your car. Anyways, are there any differences of a typical leather seat compared to those Ultra leather stuffs?

What is your website covergirl?

You will have to send me a rivate message because I am not allowed to post it on their site.
Thanks, "The Covergirl"

it's in the 1st post

If you order from her, EXPECT TO WAIT.Shes been promising to build me a set for over a year.She's got my money & i have nothing yet.Everytime i asked her for an update.She always has something else happening in her life.She tells shes been sick for the past year,yet there is NO mention of it on her website.Other "reasons" given at various times were, hospitalised & moving!She also told me she'd refund my money @ 100 a week & has yet to only give one payment in the past 4 weeks.Her work might be good, but her comitment to deliver, lacks!Total disappointment, dont expect to get anything soon if you order from her.

Wow...I was wondering why I had not seen her on the board lately. I would be livid about my money and my time. When I do repairs I budget the time as well as the money. No way would I want to pay and wait for over a year. Time to call the Better Business Bureau.

BBB is a bunch of ****.Any vendor can pay the BBB to keep their name is good standing & she has been on the board lately.For someone who only has 77 post in 3 years!

Oh ok. Well if she has been on the board and just not giving you what you paid for the word will spread around he quickly. One disatisfied customer can turn into many hesitant to try customers. In the end she will lose business.

What a surprise!i just got an email from covergirl.Seems she has the time to scan the forum, but not to refunds peoples money.HEAR THIS WELL PEOPLE.She just informed me "now your not getting anything".So im out $600, yeah thats right $600 big ones.For those of you who were thinking of sending her money or business.THINK LONG & HARD before you do.She is nothing but a common crook.It figures someone who hardly ever post here, except when she smells money, would be a good person to do buisness with.Once again if you were planning on sending her your money, better think twice & save your hard earned cash.

I would NOT let the 600 bucks dissapear man. She may be a chick, but money is money

Far from it.If she thinks shes gotten away with my money.She hasnt.Im not letting this go that easy.

She claims to have chroans disease!
She claims to be too sick to work!!!
Anyone who buys the b&b also buys their problems!!!!!

Boy I am seeing alot on this business pop all over the place in several threads. What is really shady is the website aint working, and that she had the audacity to email 841le and say he aint getting his money. I say sue her socks off. If she did that to me, I promise you she would have more than 600 bucks invested.

Yeah, i apologise for that.I revived a few threads here trying to warn people.

Id also like to add, i have received correspondense from this person & she has stated i will be receiving my money via express mail.So apparently all my efforts seem to have paid off.I notified serveral agencies including, 1c3.gov, ftc (consumer prection), & yes) BBB, among other online media.Personally i wanted to handle this thru email, but i didnt work out that way.Once she told me (& im quoting)"now your not getting anything".It was open season & i felt i had little choice.Sometimes you have to be an A-hole.Regardless it looks like the matter is resolved.We'll see, live & learn

I've been silently watching all your posts and am glad this issue is finally being resolved . Let us all know when and if it does . Good luck to you 84 1LE .

Just received the last $500 today.So covergirl has made good on this matter.Unfortunate it ended this way though.

Glad you got this resolved .

Ok for all you guys that think I am a ripoff. The only reason I am doing this is because one of the members on here, and NO I won't say his name emailed me personally to say he understood and thought I should state my side of the story, and I KNOW I am not a thief or a ripoff and I do not appreciate all of the negative comments about me because only a couple of you guys actually know me to start with. First off, the reason this guy received an email from me saying he was not getting anything is because three nights ago after I came home from dinner, I found a post on one of our local advertising sites in my community about myself saying I was a ripoff and a thief and I was completely lost as to why this had been posted. I finally realized that it was this guy and I had NEVER ONE TIME said I was not going to pay him. I NEVER DID. I had told him I would send money each Monday until I had him paid off. That was until the middle of that same week I got extremely sick and could not do anything because I DO have Crohn's Disease for all of you that think I am lying about that and I got extremely sick. Note, for those of you who don't know what that is, maybe you should do a google search to see what it does to you. That is if you even give a crap to put it politely.
When I read that post on our local community site, I absolutely blew up because I had NO intentions of not paying him to start with and was doing the best I could to start, so I sent him that email in extreme anger that he was not getting anything because I could not believe he would do something like that when I NEVER one time said he was not going to be paid. I was going to email him the next day after I had calmed down to ask why he did that BEFORE I had finished paying him back until I saw how he just went and posted crap everywhere about me.
There you have it. My side of the story. I don't care if you like it or believe it, but I have not done anything wrong and had no intentions of doing so until I was pushed too far. I will not be posting anything on here again because I am disgusted by such people going back and forth with each other about some body they do not know to start with and only listening to one side of the story before they go and post their opinions about that person. By the way, he has been refunded in FULL!

All post were made AFTER your "now your not getting anything" email & ive already posted i was refunded my money....in FULL.
