Default Upholstery shop ?

I'm looking at leather seat covers on Fleebay (not the slip-on stuff)... supposed to be a good fit and replaces the stock "leather"....

This leather upholstery set is $650 for the front and back, two tone leather - maybe a uphosltery shop charges less for only the two front seats ??

Anybody know a good shop here in Orlando ??

Edit:
just called one shop that i found in the yellowpages.... $1275 for a set of seat covers installed..... wow....

Does anybody know a good upholstery guy that can do just one piece of the seat. That infamous side bolster that faces the door is officially gone on both sides, and I just need them replaced.

PM Dirtybird... $175 per seat is pretty good. The guy at the shop that I talked to today said that if they make custom covers for the two front seats (they do that 'in house') then it would be as expensive as the entire set from their supplier....

Don at Maitland Upholstery is the best there is. He uses only the best materials and does a part-section, or, the seat as a whole ... what ever your needs are, he can fulfill them. His shop is on 17/92 ... Maitland. Typical upholstery jobs you'll see in his shop are 1957 Chevy diamond-pleated full leather interiors ... '67 Corvette original leather for show cars or customized ALL-LEATHER complete interiors, customized interiors, or you-name-it. There is nothing he can't or won't do. He's the best ... guaranteed.
