Leather Seat Covers

Does anyone manufacture the front seat covers in Leather. My Tan leather seats are getting pretty ragged up front. It's going to cost me $600 to have them redone locally. Is that a good price or is there someone that just manufactures the seat covers and I can peel the old ones off and put new ones on.

Yeah, they're expensive all right. I think Year One (NextGenParts) has the base vinyl seat covers, but I imagine that's not the look you're going for.

I do want it to look original but man that is expensive. I will have to ebay off some more goodies to pay for it.

That $400 per seat was well worth it, they look great.

I was subposed to pay 2500 for everything, the guy went out of business and stole a spare steering wheel and a shifter **** that he never finished. so he only got $2300

I think the embroidery was an extra $100 I designed the pattern on the seats, and sent him pictures of EXACTLY what I wanted.

The vertical yellow stripes are the only part of the seat that is not leather, or stitching. I did not feel like paying an extra $700 for another pelt for them. The dark gray he had on hand from another project that was long gone, so he did not charge me for a complete pelt.
