Hey guys I want to upgrade my interior and add leather seats. I like the look and feel of leather seats rather than the stock ones. Any idea of how to swap this?

I was thinking about re-upholstery but I wasn't sure if that was possible. Any ideas of a guesstimated price?

go down to imperail and 25th i think. theres a hispanic dude there that can do custom upholstery for a very good price. OR go down south to tijuana and get a very good custom job for a fraction of the cost.

Where can I just buy the leather for the driver seat only with fair price? Since I never sit in the other seats when my car is moving. smile.gif I would like to spend the extra money to get a set of 7th gc rims or other things.

It seems that they all sell as a complete set. I quoted a local store (classic soft trim):

whole package 11XX+tax, one seat: 5XX. If the price for one seat is below 300, I may consider.

JC Whitney i got my vynal seats for 450 and they look and feel great. it was a pain to install but really worth the 2 1/2 hours and the cramping hands. they also have leather for like 700 i think
