Let me know if anyone would be interested...i will be reupholstering my stock fd seats and will post up pix and show you how they turned out...

hey guys...just an update...i took apart my passenger seat last sunday...and went on a hunt for suade and leather...

...only place i found them locally that was good quality was g-street fabrics and JoAnns...but only Joanns had them in stock...

...so i bought about 2 yards of blue suade...for the middle and 4 yards of black leather for the rest of the seat...cost about ~$200

...now i need about a 1/4 inch thick foam for under the suade so it doesnt move around and get ripped apart from sitting on it...

will update as soon as i get the first seat done and ill post pics...

Looking forward to how it turns out -- I'm split between reupholstery and trying to get a set of base model (or whichever one has the little checkers on the seat) skins from Mazda parts land or JDM land...
