just wanted to know everybodys thoughts on putting leather into my cav...
What leather seats from GM bolt directly into a cav? is there any back seats that fit in? I would need black....
there is a cool set of black leather racing seats with red baseball stitching out there... does anybody where to get them? for those of you that have this style, are they a pain in the butt to recline, and also to fold forward so somebody can get in the back?
lastly, what does it cost to get seats refinished in leather? would it cost a lot more to get bentley-type piping around the edges?
thanks in advance
nobody has leather in their j-body?
I plan to get mine recovered in about a year, don't know how much yet.

get it custom done a GOOD professional shop, or buy katzkin (with custom colors, stitching, etc). those are my ONLY two recommendations

I like the katzkin options... anybody know a canadian dealer?
If you're near Toronto, I can hook you up with the guy who reupholstered mine. He did an awesome job. It'll probably cost you around $1600 or so.
I have the race seats your talking about I had a group purchase going on them I can get them for around $650 cdn leather I currently have leather door panel inserts arem rest back dash and seats
if your from Ottawa, Ontario, I know a place that can do car re-upholstry (I know, cause I work there, and plan to do my interior soon, lol)
theres a few cavalier around here that have leather interior stock
if your from ontario I can get you those race seats 100% leather for around 650 synthetic leather for 350 email me if interested justin

No Cavaliers, with the possible exception of the Toyotas, ever came with leather stock. There was some white vinyl in some convertibles... maybe that's what you're talking about.
I have leather On my Dash Doors and Back I have a leather racing seat though so i didn't bother covering the seats. Rk Sport sells a kit but in my mind it looks bad . My adive if you got to an arts and craft storeto gte the material dont tell them what your doing with it the sales ladies looked at me like im crazy , also I use some glue from 3m worked great so far Make sure u know someone who can stitch too so it looks more stock

you could get in as an option in 02 if you knew it was an option if you didnt ask or know about it you were outta luck my buddy has an 02 z24 with factory leather option its even on the gm price sheet $1500 option
yea, on the price sheet, is it listed as a manufacturer option or a dealer option? there's a difference
i remember the salesman was trying to sell me a car that was 3500 dollars more (actually, the same @!#$ black z24, NO difference), but it had leather!!!! as he kept saying.
anyway, when i said, well, what are my options? he just threw the katzkin book at me. lol.
