My local automotive upholstery shop quoted me 3.5 hours per seat plus materials, so the RB covers were much cheaper. They turned out pretty nicely and look like they belong in the car so I'm a happy camper.

I'm lucky enough that I can buy over-the-counter from them, as I work less than a mile away. I've never had to order from them via the web.

Looking good. The best way I have found to replace a deteriorated bolster is to completely cut it out and glue in a new block of foam available from any auto upholstery supplier. Use an electric carving knife to give it the basic shape. Then use a small disc sander with 80 grit on an angle grinder to do the final shaping. Simple, cheap and works great. Herb

So the web listing is correct after all. I just got $55.00 credit on the shipping I paid because it IS
included in the price. I didn't even mention it, they just sent me an email that notified me of the
fact. One more reason I like working with these guys. Over the years they have always treated
me well.
Oh and seat covers show up Monday! I think I know what the next project will be. I'll take a lot
of pictures.
BTW, does Hobby Lobby carry decent foam to use? Just curious what the exact specs need to
be on any new foam I may add in.

Found this great site that had some excellent articles about how to reupholster your seats.
These are just a couple that I found, theres many more there. Just search on upholstery.
