Re: Auto Upholstery
Assuming no tears, I get amazing results with Purple Cleaner and a power washer. Remove the seats and wash outside the car, of course!

Re: Auto Upholstery
Yea, I guess washing won't really do that, although I usually end up removing lots of VERY brown water!

Re: Auto Upholstery
I got a hold of a company in Mississauga, called Tack.
Going to drop by their officer/shop soon to get a quote.

If it's too expensive, I suggest maybe finding a set of SE leathers in good shape, then two tone them if you wish.

Re: Auto Upholstery
Just troll the FS threads, usually you can get a pair for between 150 and 400 depending on quality. A lot cheaper than reupholstering the seats.

Re: Auto Upholstery

Re: Auto Upholstery
Funny how when I was selling mine, it took a few months for them to actually sell...ironic considering how much people apparently want them. As Duncan said, it's hard to even find a set in decent condition. Trust me, I actually had 3 sets of used leathers to make 1 decent set.
Mr. Spanky that has a turbo k8 does that for a living. You could contact him. He lives up around Keswick I believe.

Re: Auto Upholstery
Just to give you an idea of how upholstery can be expensive, these were $550 USD for just labor no materials....
