Re-Upholster seats?

[Synned]

Does anyone re-leather our seats? Whats a ball park estimate for it? I guess its just worth it to buy new racing seats...but the thing is I would have black racing seats and tan interior.
Can you get leather redone?

I saw something in a magazine for leather to recover our seats. It was $895 for front and back if I remember right.

oinkaodeoink has some nice ones in his 4.6 mustang. (not stock mustang seats but covers look nice) You might have better luck taking it somewhere and letting them put their own stuff on it.

check with a local re-uphulster shop and see what they can do. some places should be able to match up the stock interior pretty well. no idea about what it would cost though

Its ALOT more expensive to just GET the material. Then you need to get it put on.

I'm likely getting mine from this place:

www.leatherseats.com

You can also look up local retailers for Katskin leather seats under "contact us" at:

If you buy the covers and install yourself, plan on spending $700 - $800, or more depending on options, but if you get it done one-off by an upholstery shop, plan on maybe double that, maybe more depending. One of my co-workers got his seats redone in his '95 Impala SS at a shop, and it cost him over $2800. They did an awsome job though.

$579 for the fronts thats alot, it might be cheaqper to look for the leather in a wrecked car or look in junkyards.

my driver seat is starting to unthread in the middle and crack. the pass. and rears are in excellent condition

Damn, you could buy brand new Corbeau or Cobra Seats shipped for less than that.

Will say 00 seats fit in our car?

 

[Mustangless]

someone on here has done that before.
Not sure if it was 00 seats, but they were 99-04 seats.

Someone on here got a set of audi TT buckets in black. They looked SICK. I have been looking on e-bay off and on to find some black seats like that. I really like the idea of getting the seat heaters working as my biggest issue with the stock leather is its damn cold in the winter.

that would be me

just need to get some TT heated seat switches and wire it up and ill have heated seats too

 

[blksn955.o]

Yep those be it... . I really love how they look. About a perfect match as you can get with a mix of seats like that. I think the way the padding is stiched it looks like it matches the rear seats well also.


Bet those are COOOMMMMMFFFFFYYYYY. Guy I know has a manual turbo A6 (one of like 5% in the US that is manual) and those seats are nice.

 

[urban96]

they do match the interior pretty well. i used to have grey cloth (did rear seat delete also)

they are much more comfy then the leather seats in my 02. when i was doing the brackets for em i noticed a sticker on there saying their made by recaro

 

[Mustangless]

that looks great

how hard are those to install? Electirc stuff still works right?

 

[urban96]

install wasnt too bad, i removed the stock TT sliders and stuff and had two metal bars welded across that let me bolt my stock seat tracks to them
