How much should it cost to get front seats covered?

Who has gotten their front seats reapolester? How much did it cost? Did it look good or am I better off buying some used seats?

I'd also like to know since my car is sitting for the winter and I don't feel like burning 4 quarts of oil to get the seats estimated. It would be cloth.

I got 3 estimates on a price to have both front seats recovered in cloth. All said about $200.00 a seat for a cloth that matches the factory pontiac pattern. I havent had it done though, Im still considering buying a used set myself.

That's about 400 bucks. I think I might be better off getting the leather ones for 440 and having my dad's friend do them.

I went to 2 places and the cheapest price I got was $350 per seat. I had the ones where the head rest and seat back was one piece with a rectangular hole in the headrest.
That style is harder to re-upholster.
The other quote I got was $650 per seat covered in Leather. I thought the guy was insane.
I just recently bought a set of Black Leather seats from a 96 Camaro SS in mint condition for only $600 for the set. Car looks sweet with them. Girls love em, I love em. Changed the entire attitude of the car.
I should have some pics of my car online with the new seating sometime next week.
