Default Need New seats or covers

Well i remember a while back someone had the same issue we all have at one point were the seats begin to tear and he replaced the cover on the seat with a custom two tone one.It looks stock but it was black with gray inserts.


Is they any were you can purchase replacement covers for your seats anywere online or custom ones.Not looking for rice covers.the seat is good just the leather is tore and all i need is a new cover for the them .But have not had any luck finding them

I really like them. They are a softer kind of material, so it seems like it would be harder for it to wear. They are really smooth. I am very happy with them. They are pricey, but the only ones even remotely like them are real leather and I think they cost like $800 a set.

Hawks Third Gen carries them, I can't post a link because they aren't a sponsor. As for more pictures, I don't have many because I was waiting to do the door panels before I took any good pictures. But here's (a bad) one I took recently:


And a really old, cell phone picture from what they went in:

$400 for all the upholstery front and rear. i did the rear seats myself. they were pretty easy except one of the side handles for the fold down seat wouldn't come off cause the screw stripped. we finally got the damn thing off but it popped the little square shaped nut that it bolts into off the seat. that was fixed with good ol' jb weld, lol. the front seats i had a shop do because i needed to have the side bolster plastics sewn into the new seat covers because i wanted stock appearing seats. those side pieces are no longer available through GM so you have to have yours cut from your old fabric and sewn into the new stuff if you want to keep them. It was originally gonna cost me $250 to have that done along with them putting the upholstery on the front seats but when i got them back i couldn't get them put together, espeically the drivers seat which had new foam on the top of it and nothing lined up so i took them back and had them assemble them. i was a bit annoyed when i found it it was costing another $200 for them to do that. realistically you should be able to get everything done for ~ $600 if you take the seats apart yourself like i did but also assemble them yourself. Then again if i had to do it all over again i probably would have taken the guy the front seats fully assembled and had him deal with taking them apart.

Here's something similar, but with a graphite and tan combo. The brand is Katzkin, and they are leather with vinyl bolsters to help the longevity. To have all the seats recovered, and the two front seats "restuffed" was right around $1000 for everything. A lot of money, but well worth it.

Also, it's hard to tell in the pictures, but the center (tan part) is perforated.

It had gotten really bad


This was literally 10 minutes after I got it home and the material hadn't settled in yet. Looks better today:

I was looking at the hawks covers and it says they are available in ebony with opal inserts. What is opal? Also, will the 97-02 covers fit on 93-96 seats?
