Changing from cloth to leather seats - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #53369 8 posts Started by rjorge3
Hi gang, I have a 94 ST liftback and my cloth seats are starting to show their age. Have anyone changed their cloth for leather? I found these covers on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1994-1999-T...sspagenameZWDVW

what do you think? or should I go for a professional installer (how much should I pay). I want them to look as close to factory as possible. If you have some pictures of your seats even better.

Thanks

thouse seat covers look pretty good. Theres a how-to article that some one wrote up explaining how to re-upholster your seats. It doesnt seem to hard as long as you have some basic mechanical skill.
oooo for 99 bucks you get seat warmers, well feckign worth it
If you have some knowledge involving fabric sewing. You can go buy some leather from your local fabric store (there not that expensive) and replicate each piece on the original seats. Sew them all together and you pretty much have new seats.

Plus you get the satification that of you doing your own seats smile.gif
They look really cool! And the price is ok i think!

Face your fears, Live your dreams!!!
