Default Re-upholstering seats

Hey guys whats up,

I have decided to have my grandma re-upholster my seats
Go grandma!
I'm tired.

Anyway, I have a few questions.

I need to know, what Kind of material, where to get it, and how much.

What Kind should I buy?
Where do I get it?
And how much do i get? (sq ft.)
And how much per sq ft?

I have been thinking, I think I'm going with Black and red stitching,
Everyone seems to have it but it does look good.

I was also thinking Black with Red inserts, But I don't think that would look good.
I'm dying my int. Black(dash, panels) and I'm buying new carpet, and I'm installing new Steeringwheelsetup,
so I need the seats to look good too

Here are current pics, they look horrible.





Thanks, Later

i don't know about your area, but where i live there's a couple of upholstery places around, look in the phonebook..just remember if you go to a place like that, take apart the seat yourself or they might charge you up the *** for it ..


btw, does anyone know a place online or something that would sell the black mesh kind of fabric that's on itr seats??

Hope she has experience cuz its a pita. I did the back seat in danny's DA and it was cake. But its the front seats that are a bitch. U have to have alot of expersience. Its not just sowing up the seat cover(thats the easy part), its putting the seat cover on and making it fit even and tight.

If your grandma sows up the covers id be more than happy to put them on for you. Also pm me cuz i have the number to Farbers/whynn&graff-they sell fabrics.
