smither_t Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hey check out my new seats, I recovered them because they were looking horrible. Did both  fronts, the backs, and those side pillows up by the back windows.

JustPaus_88TSi Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I'm looking to do the same after awhile...What kind of material did you use? Is there a special kind of leather that's best? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offalot Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Grandmas got skillz, man you two could make some money doing that, they look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smither_t Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 JUSTPAUS_88TSi they are not leather, but very high quality vynal... marine grade so the sun wont affect them at all and they wont shrink... we did the interior of my eclipse in black and blue 5 years ago and it has absolutely no wear what so ever, and its my daily driver so the stuff is awsome... and here are some pictures of the other car if you are interested. thanks for the props guys troy http://www.directimagehost.com/is.php?i=9388&img=back.jpg http://www.directimagehost.com/is.php?i=9389&img=doors.jpg http://www.directimagehost.com/is.php?i=9390&img=front.jpg http://www.directimagehost.com/is.php?i=9391&img=front_2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travs_z Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Grandma needs to start doing custom auto upholstery. Seriously, that looks great! That's cool that she takes the time to do that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Did you stich it together on the seats, or did you remove the leather covers first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smither_t Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 to answer your question, yes we removed the leather first and used it as a pattern to make the new ones, then we stiched them together and placed them on the seats if i had the time i would start making them but they are a real pain to put on the seats, you cant just place them over the seat and go for it... to make it look good takes a lot of work but thanks for the props troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
