Re: Place to buy a Highlander plaid bench cover

This is one of my seats I had redone. We used fabrick from SMS and saved a lot of the original.

Re: Place to buy a Highlander plaid bench cover

My seat is back and installed with the new cover. My neighbor is a upholsterer and has been doing car interiors for 30 years and fixed me up. He added a little padding on the corners and centered it all up. One thing he said he appreciated is that the person who made it took the time to cut and line up the plaid pattern evenly and on both sides vs just cutting anywhere in the roll of plaid cloth.

My wife thinks it is ugly as hell and reminds her of her grandmas couch but I think it is retro cool. The Grapefruit Yellow color of my truck actually has a lot of green in it too.

Freedom isn't safe, it requires you to take responsibility for your own life, your own safety, and your own success. It carries with it the possibility of failure and the understanding that you're working without out a safety net. If you give the state the responsibility for any of these you also give up the freedom that accompanies the responsibility.

Looks nice! Lining up the pattern is a professional touch, though some material is lost.

Yes, the steering wheels are hard to find or higher than giraffe tits. I put the wrap on my current one as it is sort of a 70s thing.
