Does anyone know of any "How To's" in regards to redoing the bucket seats?
I would like to change the color of them to black and red but I don't want to go out and get new seats! I like mine just the way they are aside from the color. I have black and red seat covers but I would like to make them look a little better.
Any help or direction would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Aside from seat covers...
reupholstering a seat is a pretty damned big job... you have to be pretty damned good at stiching with a machine in order to get both the shape and the strength necessary... you might just be better off having a shop do it for you, but for the price, you might be able to find a nice set of used SVT seats in red & black

Well when my dad had his seats redone, they cost him around 400$ for the 2 front buckets. I was thinking about haveing mine redone in black and darkgreen vinal... but i have better things to put my money to. :)

actually I'm kinda thinking of doing something like that, but I'd be doing this on the rear split seat in my car as I want to add the rear head rests..... since the clips that hold the head rests in place is deep in the seat back.

Call Apple Auto Glass for a quote. Maybe cheaper than trying to do it yourself. B)
