Got my buddy buckets redone a couple weeks ago - they turned out real nice. Now to just get to the rest of the interior...(the goofy GMC van steering wheel is gonna go, I just wanted to see if I liked the size)

Nah, if I would have done them myself they would never have turned out that nice. And they probably wouldn't have ever got done!

NWD02 · 05-20-2008, 06:44 AM

Very nice!

boundstaffpress · 05-20-2008, 06:48 AM

those look sharp!!

Riveted1 · 05-20-2008, 07:50 AM

Nice! Are those seat covers or were they custom?

72BlckButy · 05-20-2008, 03:17 PM

Wow... those look good!

Sammy · 05-20-2008, 04:33 PM

Wow great job. White wouldn't work for me they would be black in a month. But that's really good workmanship. Did you have the foam replaced also or was that salvageable?

It's an off-white/kind of grey and I'm a little worried about getting them dirty too, but the material cleans fairly easily - we'll see. The foam was pretty much o.k, except for a couple of spots, where he cut it back and glued new pieces in. They are very comfortable seats, and you can't tell where the repairs were done.

I like it except for the stitching line that comes straight down into the bottom from the seat back. Why did he do that?
