Does anyone know how to recover seats in vinyl or leather so it looks like it came from the factory? I want to do the seats myself to save money on paying a place to do it. I want to use black and silver/grey vinyl. help

i'm just getting custom-fit seatcovers. I have no idea about completley redoing the seats because that involves sewing and buying the materails and a lot of sh|t. there's a reason it's so expensive. but try JCWhitney and DuoTonez JCW has Neoprene and Duotnez is Vinyl.

always depends on how much you willing to spend. if you dont care, go buy some good qual momo's or sparco's and cover up the back seats.

i say forget it, buy some "racing seats" and just cover the back ones. But i guess you could just buy it and if you are good at sewing, sew the peices together. Take the old cover off and put the new one on, cause i think the padding MIGHT be under some sort of frame, but that is a big might

Yeah I was thinking that I might just go the more expensive route and get some fully adjustable, reclinable racing seats. But I am worried I wont be able to get the same material for the rear seats?

the majority of cars ive seen usually dont have the same material for the front and back. It still looks clean i think, my cousins integra has black momos in the front and some black vinyl/leather covers in the back, very nice.

momo makes seats?

03-23-2003, 04:31 PM

yes they do

But i actually meant to say sparco, i was just confused with what he wanted to get, and what he did get.

03-23-2003, 10:34 PM

mmm, nice.

$255.00 that's for 1 seat, correct?

I was getting the seatcovers but they never got here and then they credited my account So I dont wanna go through the hassle with jcwhitney agian.

phuckin jcw, i was so set to see them seat covers and buy them myself. i'd get into their face and ask for some kinda compensation for puttin you through all that bullsh|t. whats your next move?

Well I had the high bid on some prelude seats but teh seller cancelled the auction because someone told him theyd buy them for 150. I was gonna win them at 50 bucks too err. So after being disapointed I ahve pput off seats for a while. I just ordered a mugen style lip so that should kep me happy for a while.

its a conspiracy, they dont want you to completely get rid of your stock tan interior. i saw a white accord with a mugen lip on the street today, i'm starting to get a taste for them. post pics when you get it done
