Based on TexasQuest's response, I wonder if I have a slightly milder version of the same problem with the ETACS. I posted it elsewhere, but I've had the car die on the road then have zero power when the key is turned. But, I've also had issues with the alarm going off when I unlock the car with the key.

Is it by special request with Boosted Diamonds? I don't see seats on their site. It's mostly carbon fiber stuff? Thanks, Mark

It still won't let me post in the appropriate section so apologies for dumping everything into this section. I'll likely be reupholstering my seats. Leather is obviously an option but what are some thoughts on cloth and maybe other materials (if there are others?) Does going to cloth hurt the value of the vehicle? That's not necessarily a deciding factor, but it would be a consideration. Is cloth typically less expensive than leather when reupholstering? Any other options worth considering? Thanks, Mark

Thanks Kev, and everyone. I'll look into all your suggestions!

It's nice to hear the full backstory. I have bought a few things and sought some sage advice from Dad/Randy as I begin my (slow) restoration/rebuild of my 89 Conquest. He's been a great source of parts and information. I know I'll be getting more parts and advice going forward.

Sorry Kev, I actually meant I would ask the auto upholstery guy. But if the OP is near me, that might be a good alternative!

I've considered having my seats recovered or restored and was going to ask the person if this was something they could do. It's probably behind my skills to do it without making it worse.

I found it! The key search term was "sewn." But I was wrong, it wasn't recent, it was an old post I must have stumbled across.

I don't know if it was an easy fix, but I remember someone posted what they did, with pictures. I just can't come up with the right keywords for my search. There are only a few people on here doing that level of restoration, but I'm drawing a blank. It may not even have been a new post--it may have been a reply to another post.

I've searched here every way I can think of and I can't find the fairly recent post someone made about how they repaired the little "bumps" that appear on the 88/89 front seat bottom cushions. I remember it had something to do with a plastic piece under the cushion that maybe the stitching was attached to. Can whomever posted it link me to the post? Thanks! Mark

I tried to post this in the proper section but it won't let me. I'd like a little quieter exhaust than what came on my car, which appears to be a 3" Magnaflow. What are some good options that are currently available? A friend said not to go bigger than 2.5" to get sufficient backpressure. Is that correct for these cars? Thanks, Mark

Thanks! I checked the automotivetouchup site for my 1989 Fiji Blue project but they don't have that color. I thought about asking the local PPG store if they can make it.

Thanks! I went to that site but used Chrysler!
