Re-Upholstering Seats - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Hey, Looking into getting my seats re done with vinyl. Priced it from a local guy and he said $1500 (Canadian). Is this outrageous or is it about the price i should expect? Any of you who have had their seats done (2 seats in front and 2 in back, with backrest) could you post your price that you paid?

Thanks

I had my fronts and rears redone for 650. So i would say that is high.

Check out 'covergirl' at www.birdsandbowties.com. She quoted me US$500 plus shipping for ultraleather and the quality looks good.

Where did you look at for this to be done? i was thinking off getting some bucket seats from a 4th gen but if i cant find any this will be my next move

Maybe I should learn to sew so that I could make my own. lol

We sell seat kits for under 500.00 there would be a ship charge to CANADA though.

I have a set of recovered 4th gen seats from Hawks. Pics in this thread. (Hawks seat reupholstery install questions)

I was extremely happy with them. I also now have the door panels to match.

Very nice, gave me an idea

i think i might pick up some seats from a savage yard and try to do recover them and just leave my old seats in for the time being because i still need transportation

For the record I'm still fighting with those covers. I haven't been given a decent solution (or a solution at all actually) from Hawks about the bottom covers as mentioned in that thread, and the cover for the front seat back that I'm wrestling with now doesn't want to fit quite right. Maybe I'll be pleased when I have these issues ironed out but so far not so much.

I was also quoted around $1500 Canadian last summer to get mine reupholstered in black leather. Right now I'm kinda regretting not shelling out the cash...
