Adding Leather?
I am thinking of changing my cloth seats out for a set of leather covers from leatherseats.com
Has anyone ordered a set from them? How did they fit? Pictures? Were they difficult to install? If not leatherseats.com have you ordered from someone else? I have never done upholstery before but the way I see it the hardest part is cutting the pattern and sewing the pieces that's where it takes a true craftsman to make. I don't think putting them on and hog ringing them on should be that hard. I could have someone else do it likely for a few hundred bucks but I enjoy spending a Saturday doing projects on my car and this would be a good one. |

Interested in this as well. Called a local upholstery shop about 6 weeks ago and they wanted about 500 per seat to redo in custom black leather. I thought that was a little steep so I held off. Would definitely like to hear some opinions on changing the front seats to leather. Could care less about the back. No one sits back there.

Shouldn't have to do any work except install them.

I finally got around to installing the leather seats I ordered, just not in the car. I bout an SS rather than the LS I had. I am happy to report the seats fit great and weren't that hard to install. It took my buddy and I 8 hours to do all three seats which I don't think is too bad for two guys who have zero upholstery background.
Some notes on the kit from Leatherseats.com: Easiest part rear back rest Hardest part front back rests Installing this kit requires 114 hog rings (I bought a kit of 100 and was short that's how I know the exact amount needed) Kit includes a center console, door armrests, door panels and dash trims. Kit does not include the shift boot that was an extra $75 |
