Alternative to paying for upholstery.

You can reupholster your seats yourself if you're willing to spend the time. Here's my seat after I redid it myself...

I think it came out pretty good for my first one.

It cost me a total of about 200-250 for enough materials to do both front & back seats.

At first it takes a bit but once you get the hang of it, it goes pretty fast.
The seat back in the picture I started yesterday afternoon and was finished with it later that evening.

If anyone wants, I can write up a tech article on this but it will take me a bit.

Let me know what you think.

Randy,
I'm looking to redo the entire interior of my T/A this spring, including the seats. I was just going to go with seat covers, but if you say its easy.......

Any chance you could e-mail me what you had to do?

Thanks,
