Default Cost to Re-Upholster Front Seats?

Hey guys,

Does anyone know how much it would be to have the front seats recovered in ebony?

Thanks

They generally cost anywhere from $500-$1400

Leatherseats dot com
Katskinz dot com


edit: if you do it yourself, with the materials they have or have someone do it for you!!

There's a really good place on queens blvd if you wanna make the trip, worth it.

The name is Mc Coy Manufacturing Corporation.

I was quoted $400 for rear seat to be covered in ebony and about $200 each for front seats.

All depends upon where you go. I just had mine done about 6 months ago and had a local shop do all my seats (Front and Rear) in custom leather for $1500. Here's a pic, not too good but you get the idea, I also had them do red stiching to offset the gray leather and the bird on the headrests.

I was GOING to, but the dye doesn't actually "DYE" the seats.. It holds up pretty good but I can already see it starting to come off. I also wear a studded belt so I'm starting to think that's digging into the seat. Not helping, lol

6litereater sells complete seats for $500-650. And that is for both front seats not just one.

I know you were looking to just get them covered but hell I don't know about you but I am tired of hearing my passenger seat squeak. And then your not just covering up old foam.
