looks good, where did you get it done? I have a small tear in my vert's leather seats and that seems like a great price.

I'm in Houston, I just found an upholstery place in the phone book, went over and looked at some of their work and picked out material. They kept the car for 2 days. I'm sure there are plenty of places that can do it.

The 'vert is looking good, man!

Makes me wish I hadn't scrapped my leather seats in favor of the herringbone cloth versions...

You must have gotten real leather. I went with genuine naugahide.

that looks nice, my driver's seat has a hole on the bottom about the size of a golf ball and I'll need to get it done sometime.. but that's not high on my list of things to do quite yet

Do you have a address for that place? I live in the Houston area too. My seats need to be re-upholstered really bad.

Richardson Upholstery and Trim, on Ticonderoga. It's off old 90 (the Beaumont highway) Close to Beltway 8 on the East side of town.

that looks awesome. so when they reupholster, do they just recover seats or like is there new stuffing/foam involved? because my driver seat's support parts are no where near as firm as my passenger (from all the butt time in the seat obviously).

Wow, that looks great! My vert seats were shot so i put some GXL seats in, they are OK and will eventually fade though, sad! But that looks nice, well worth that $320 i say.
