Sorry, folks - I had no time this week to get these done and now I'm heading out of town for the holiday. So hopefully I'll be able to get to it sometime between Monday and Wednesday next week. For anyone who has contacted me about the availability of my current seat covers, please PM me again if you're still interested. I cleaned out my inbox without enough discretion the other day and lost a couple that I meant to keep. Thanks and everybody have a good 4th!

I have done a new leather interior in my car too. It is really cost effective getting the material from ebay. You can find it by typing in "ST205 leather seat covers" and they will come up. Price is about $499.00 + shipping however you can make an offer. *Note: These are good quality seat covers made of thick leather and you can choose your color and stitching, in my opinion they are well worth it. You can get the seats tight without a heat gun, depends on how far you can get the material into the valleys in the foam done by how tight or loose you do the hog rings. The hog rings that come with it are kinda cheap so if you have a boat interior or reupholstry business around I would recommend getting the good hog rings (about $9.00 for a bag full) they will be a lot thicker. Also you will need a seamstress too sew on the interlocking channel for the front seats. Just simply take the old covers over with the new ones and get them tranferred over so they will have an example. (fairly cheap to have done $20.00 to $50.00) The only tools you will need are regular and needle nose pliers. The new covers go on in the reverse order the old ones come off. ( starting from the inside and working out. *and making holes for the headrest after the covers are on.) I can send pics of my finished interior if anyone is curious to how they look I will be home next week. If you have any questions please dont hesistate to contact me.
