Cost to reupholster racing seats
Monday, August 01, 2005 8:58 AM
I recently got a quote from a local guy and he is asking around $180 per seat. Pretty much anything I can imagine he can do. He'll be using some sort of vinyl that looks like leather but isn't. It will be a simple 2 color design, black and yellow. The price sounds real decent to me just wanting to know your opinions on it. I have never had any kind of work like this done so I'm pretty much guessing.

180 seems to good to be true, but u never know. i spent around 800 to have both my corbueas wrapped in vinyl and suede. i'd ask to see some of his work. having it done cheap and then having wrinkles or unstraight seams may not be worth it. or he may just be starting out and trying to get his name out there u never know.

for that price i would just save a little more and get some good seats instead. Or if you are like me and just cant wait, try to do it yourself.

I already have the seats, just not happy the way the color matches up with the rest of the inside.

well it all depends on what seats and what material. leather wrapped corbeaus from the factory run something like 800$ a seat. sparcos in leather i think are around 1500$ a seat.

Update:
Well I'm going to be getting them done in black and yellow vinyl with my name at the top. They should look real nice. He's only charging me $350 for everything and it's guaranteed. So if everything comes out good I would recommend you check him out if you around the area. Should have pics in about 2 weeks.

yeah get pics when u get done, and if u ever plan on selling the car might want to forgo your name in the seats.
