seat upholstery

Post by donm »

I'd like to re upholster my two front seats. The PO had installed seat covers but I've never really llked the looks of them. IAP sells a front and rear seat kit for $680 -- way too pricey for me and I only want to do the front seats. Anyone know of a less expensive source?

Which type of top would you guys go with? Is the pinpoint material adequate or is the stayfast canvas a better option? I'm thinking in terms of longevity and durability, is the extra $100 or so worth it?

This is my plan, or something like this. The pair here, well, the price makes it work.
