Cost is $250 per seat, which is much cheaper than buying a Kirkey aluminum seat ($250?) and then having them upholstered ($?).

I'll post some pictures once I get my seats back. I'm also having some padding added to the back and putting in a firmer pad for the seat.

Doug,
That's a very good price for leather re-up provided they do quality work.

And a major HEADS-UP for new leather owners; while working on the car, never slide into a seat with a 9" screwdriver or safety wire pliers in your BACK POCKET. The sounds you will make are inhuman...

How do I know??
