Custom upholsterers or aftermarket seats also!

I have a full set of ebony leather T/A seats out of my recently wrecked car. Seats only have 16k miles worth of driving on them and are PERFECT! no rips or fades or anything. PM me if you're interested.

Not hard at all. Took me a couple hours but if you can do any kind of engine modifications you can easily do this.

If you all do not mind me asking, what did your interior set you back?

I too would like to hear what people have to say about aftermarket leather companies. Namely Classic Soft Trim. They seem to know what they are doing and have alot of options. Most importantly there is a shop fairly close to me.

Autoleathers is just a vendor for katzkin, so those are the same. Classic Soft Trim is (I think) a separate product - I think they are good quality, but my only exposure is with the autoleathers/katzkin product...and I give them a big :thumbup:
