Restoring Interior - Advice Please

I just picked up a 98 Formula that needs new carpet. Since I have to replace the carpet I am considering changing the seats to leather as well. Anyone have any suggestions on where to find/buy what I need. Any experience with a particular vendor? Thanks in advance.

Go to the sponsor's section, there's a GP on the best leather kits out there, by Katzkin. Get in on it while it lasts.

I agree with the above. I just got in GP yesterday. I think that it is a very good deal. I got the color samples today and I am going to try and match them to my interior.

Depending on price of the leather kit, you could get some pretty good aftermarket seats. I would recommend aftermarket seats over recovering stock ones anyday. There is just no comparing the comfort/grip of aftermarket to stock seats. JMHO

Re: Restoring Interior - Advice Please

Thanks for the advice guys. I can't afford to get in on the GP right now, just pricing for the months to come. The carpet is the top priority right now but the seats will follow soon. Thanks again.
