Leather Seats?!?

Post by SteeleMX3 »

I am looking at reupholstering my seats in leather....My current ones were pretty much ruined by the previous owner(s) and I either want to get them done in leather or just refurbished if the leather is galactically expensive. Any suggestions, comments???

im looking to reupholster my seats and they will be getting done by the end of this month and all the shops i went to the guys never recomemended leather. There are supposidly substitute leathers that feel and look like leather but wear longer than leather and stand up to heat better and dont crack and just lasts long all together. even better the faux leather is cheaper in most cases so that what im going with

p.s
250usd per seat on my front seats material and labor

that sounds about right for the price I had in mind originally, the faux leather seems fine for what I want. Any recommendations for a place to have it done?

Are they matching original design, stitching?

Your best bet is to call up places in Calgary that do upholstery and get some quotes sir.
