Dano had his front seats recovered many years ago. You might want to try contacting him.
are you going to do something custom, or just factory style replacements? i need to re-cover mine, but i need some damn foam
factory look but better leather.
get a swatch from 50resto, match it up, order it from them. when i had my top put on, i asked the guys for a price to make seat covers excatly like mine. they said about 13-1400 bones. i think you can get front and rear from 50resto for $800 i think... i would give them a call
The only think with ordering them done is your stuck with the same padding in the seats.. most shops change out the padding as well...
or for 800 you could get a rockin set of aftermarket or for about 200 on top of the 8 get 03-04 seats, either way unless you can get the fronts covered at like 200 a pop its not worth doing cuz its gonna cost you too much, are your really attached to them cuz if your not I suggest stepping up to something better
Im in the same boat. Im probably going with some custom arizen racing seats
im lookin at some myself, i just have to get them done to match saddle
I had several panels on my front seats recovered by a small shop here in San Antonio (Cibolo). Wasn't real leather, but it looked just fine, and didn't cause a lot of sweating. He had to apply some dye, to match the rest of the saddle interior. Most shops are a little pricey - I think I paid a total of around $350 or 400.
Last time I saw a new set of OEM (or OEM-like) leathers for the front seats ran $700 - 800. (E-Bay)
My seats were bad enough to justify almost any price.

Yeah, I was underwhelmed too, looking at the photos. They looked better in person.
HOly crap Dano...

I've been wanting to do the fog light mod for a while now...

When I had my new top put on I asked the guy what it would be to have the seats done and he said to do it right with nice leather I'm looking at around 2k which was fine by me as it made the $1,200 I'm planning on dropping on race seats seem like such a good deal!
Katskinz did mine...re padded, completely re-skinned...
$1400, too much but it was insurance money so what da hell...

The two tone looks good.
do they have a webpage?
Those prices seem high. I haven't gotten a quote on mine yet, but I'm going to soon. But my last vehicle, 94 Toyota Landcruiser, was quoted for $1200 for all 3 rows of seats with real leather. I also had a different Landcruiser front two seats done for $250 each with real leather as well. Those were Beaumont, TX prices. Now I'm in Houston, I'll see what they go for around here. I really hate my driver's seat. The left leg pad is gone. It's just a metal pipe with some leather around it. I would love to get some new seats.
I'd like that two tone if the black went all the way down to the crease and didn't stop at the edge of the top seam....
