Possible to re-upholster seats?
just wondering if it's possible, i think i read somewhere that it isnt because the vinyl is glued to the foam.. i wanna do the whole seat, back and all.

Reupholster seats
You might want to consider inexpensive Corbeau seats. For just replacing daily driver seats they are the biggest bang for the buck. You can also order custom upholstery and extra fabric/leather for the rear seats and have a local shop upholster the rear to match the fronts. They also make mounting brackets that bolt into the floor so no drilling required.

I had mine reupholstered in leather, tops only for $500 (cost of leather was separate, as I wasn't happy with the automotive leather available locally: one hide for about $160). Whole seat would obviously be more. I don't think there were any problems with removing the old vinyl.
I'm very happy with it, now it's got a custom look to it..

I didn't think it was too difficult. Check out the kits from rennbay (if they still sell them). Just undo the rings from the old upholstery, and attach the new covers in the same places. I went and got some more foam from a fabric store to make the seats a little softer/bulky as well. They look great!
