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...
