Ya might try Katzkin leather or Classic Soft trim. Both have locations nationwide and they should still have the patterns from the original manufacture date.
I know there is a classic soft trim in Rocklin, California....I used to work there. See if Harry still works there. Tell him Chris Cope a former employee sent you. He might laugh or cry

My solution...

was to go to the Parts Counter of the local Mazda dealership and ask them who they send their cars to for upholstery repair. Asked for a referal to get the dealership price.

That way you get someone that has experience in exactly your seats and also get a break in cost.

Just had my 91 done. $1000 both seats. Smells like a new car. with different leather - holes and no holes have to order 2 hides.

When they finished my seats the shop said...never again. They were doing warranty work on a new Jag...a peice of cake, so simple. our 7 seats are REAL complicated.

that is why new dealer price is $3000 each.

Girlfriend loves to sit naked on my new seat!

I called the people at O.S.A. like 5 times and finally they gave me prices on the leather seat kit for my vert, $500 and it'll take 6 to 8 weeks and they have to paid fully when placing the order. Does someone deal with them before, they are in Miami and the shipping have to be added. Please guys let me know,

I got quoted $200 per seat for my 91 vert down in Mexico. A buddy of my that lives near one of the border towns in southern Arizona told me about the deals. The quality of the material and workmanship is as good as most place you would take it to in the US. There's a lot of these shop near the Mexican border towns that do custom interior jobs for cheap.

It seems like replacing or rehabbing the seats on a vert is a pain in the azz. Other than the speakers in the headrest, is there any other downside to putting in some aftermarket seats?

Can you give me some more info on this? I need to get my 90 vert done and if I can save some $$ by making a short drive to Mexico I would be very happy.
