Best place to buy seat covers?
I was looking at LMC, but $360 for a bench seat cover just feels a bit high to me. Anybody wanna pass along any tips?

Re: Best place to buy seat covers?
a local upholstery shop can do the seat similar to the "factory correct" usually with labor included it comes out less than if you bought the covers alone/// but if you're looking for a correct type of resto it's possible to spend well over a thousand going"factory correct"

Re: Best place to buy seat covers?
Have a look at this site if you are considering something slightly different than stock and feel comfortable installing the cover yourself. Great prices and excellent quality.

Re: Best place to buy seat covers?
Hmmm. Well, the pad is good, I just wantd a nicer cover. I was looking at the tweed insert design.
I spoke to a local guy, but he wanted $500-600 to rebuild it completely. I'm not sure it needs that much....just a cover, thank you. ![]()

Re: Best place to buy seat covers?
Try Rick's...easy to install and inexpensive. I got in trouble quoting from their old price sheet...better get an update.

I'd suggest Tim Christian. He's great to deal with.
