Post WAHOOO seats done!!! (pics)

I have to say that this is nice!! For those that I mentioned this to, I am researching the possibilites of starting this for other folks around. Here are some pics of the pre-stretched passenger seat, it takes a few days for the leather and vinyl to really take shape on the foam. I am very impressed at how this project turned out. My dad has been sewing boat covers, awnings, auto/aero/nautical fabrics for some time, it looks, smells and feels great!!! I opted to go with the full OEM, basically vinyl sides and back with leather down the middle and on the bolsters. Interestingly enough he says that it would be better to go leather all the way around, go figure. I am working at him to give any Rennlisters a DEEP discount if enough interest is shown.

<p>




Comments are appreciated!!!

Thanks for the interest/comments. I am still trying to get a solid figure out of him, for both full leather and partial(oem) I am pushing at the sub 500 mark on him for OEM, we'll see how that goes. I guess that it boils down to a cost analysis which is still being researched. I will keep the thread bumped over the week-end as I have more information.
P.S. just took the first drive on seats, my 5yr old asked why I was smiling while I was driving <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />
