Re: Re covering stock bench?

I paid $225.00 for a vinly cover for my factory bench seat and installed it myself. I called a few shops and it ranged from $395 up to over $500 for them to do it. My cover is gray and black vinyl but does not have pleats.

I also bought the upholstery $189.00 and did it myself with help from a friend... I got it from LMC... I paid a lot for shipping but still cheaper then having a shop do it... they wanted $400.00

Re: Re covering stock bench?

Mine was custom made to look like OEM, and it cost me $400. So from everyone else's posts it look like the cost of the cover is around $200, and then $200 to install.
