Yeah, I had seen that, but When you have three good seats and only a couple small rips in one
Worst case, I'm glad the set sets are available

Re: Looking for Carmine/graphite Fabric or seat
bump. Ordered a fabric sample from California pontiac restorations for a set of seat covers, but it was terrible.

Trying to get a sample from 1a auto. I would still rather have an original seat in good condition

Re: Looking for Carmine/graphite Fabric or seat
I have that material new
5 yards Carmine
2 yards Light gray Pallex cloth
I paid $100 a yard years ago
Cost me about $700 and I didn't use it for 86 I had, put it Recaros and sold it. I also found my BLK hobnail and plain BLK for 79 TA...

Re: Looking for Carmine/graphite Fabric or seat
The sample on the right is terrible. The color is close, but the fabric is all wrong.
How much do you want for your fabric?

Re: Looking for Carmine/graphite Fabric or seat
Pass. Still waiting on fabric samples from 1a auto. If what they offer is close, I'm probably going to do that. It would be insane to pay 700 for fabric and then have to pay for it be make into seats.

Re: Looking for Carmine/graphite Fabric or seat
that's really weird. Have you tried asking her what the holdup is? You might want to. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I provided the cloth?

Re: Looking for Carmine/graphite Fabric or seat
Kudos on the project, turned out really well.
Curious about several things, if you don't mind.
First thing is the cost of material. Is it because its factory original?
I'm headed down the same path, but paying $20-30/yard from a good local
supplier in Pasadena. (Maroon & Steel Gray, standard auto grade velour.)
From the factory, there's some pretty exotic foam lining material sewn into
the covers. What was used in your set?
Next, what was covergirl's cost for labor only?
And finally, the emblazened floormats are also very sharp.
Where did you get those?
Once again, looks awesome.
thanks,
kk

Re: Looking for Carmine/graphite Fabric or seat
Yes, the cost was because it was the original material
The cover girl provides the foam
Her fee was around 300 for the front seats only
The mats are called Lloyds mats, you can get them from eBay
