Nice! They almost look like they came from the factory.

They are pretty comfy. And I like how much higher you sit than with the stock seats.

These were kinda one-off efforts but I think the guy kept the patterns. I shopped the plan around to a few good places and qoutes were anything from about $400-$600/seat. These actually took about 4 months to complete. There was a good amount of procrastination on their part since normal work was flowing through all the time. I'm sure he wish he'd bid higher after all the work that was done. But the shop came well recommended.

It was also important to me that the upholsterer and I were on the same page. I had to make sure he was "feelin' me" as I described what I wanted. I needed to make sure we connected on the idea. We drew all over the red cloth deciding where the seams would be and everything. It's cool when you farm something out if they are excited about it too.

I got a good deal on the Corbeaus, otherwise I would have considered knock-offs. These weigh a bit more now because the padding in the Corbeaus was actually pretty chincy underneath. Just strips glued here and there. Now they are actually molded foam around the skeleton. As you can see, the vinyl is hard to get to lay just like the cloth, but it's minimal.

I'm pretty stoked that they came out so well. Now I need to finish some other repairs on the car. But I do like sitting in the new seats and making engine noises.

Those turned out great.$400-$600 per custom upholsterd seat is a good deal IMO.I deal with alot of home furnishings that need to be recoverd and it is very expensive.The other part is finding a person who does nice work,it looks like you have that problem solved.

Would your guy do a set of 69 seats deluxe the same way? I had been thinkin about something cool, but you have hit a grand slam! You are the man!!
