I took upholstery classes at wyotech. these seats are made the same way any other uphostry shop would make them. In order to make these seats you would have to be pretty good at sewing.

It is a high quality vinyl, you cannot tell that it is not leather in person. and the reason for the diamonds is that I am also a pretty big mitsubishi guy, one of my first cars was a 350whp eclipse.

Covers look really nice, what's the ETA on the finished project?

You go to Wyotech? Do you know a girl there named Whitney? she's big into old school caddilac's, I forget her last name. She's from MD.

Here's her myspace.
