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.

Yeah we'd like to see some pics! So what exactly is ultra leather anyways?
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!
Very nice work. Thoses seats look factory. It is amazing how new seats can improve a cars looks. Sure worked for my car.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?
