http://www.InlandImports.com Not the best website in the world. Click on the "Shop" choice on the top menu.

I sent fabric samples to him a week ago...I'll have some new custom covers by Christmas!

i was thinking id try a couple of "local" auto upholstery shops and see what their getting.. i want my bolsters redone as original (leather, sport seats) but my inserts redone in cloth (all leather is alot of $$ and cloth stays cooler down here) .. the least ive seen the sport seat kits for is $350 plus, and thats all vinyl, im hoping i can get a better deal with a small local shop...well see...

Thats the Rennbay kit, i have heard nothing but good reviews, and they are supposed to be pretty easy to put on.

I like www.worlduph.com for my interiors. They have all the fabrics and leather/vinyls for our cars in stock. They quoted me $350 for fronts and $200 for rear for my Martini seats all new in original materials.

I tried a couple locals for those same seats and was told $1000 to replace the centers with perf vinyl and 2 bolsters. Of course that was front and back but still.

Inland has good deals on ebay but I have never used them. Let me know how that goes CMXXXI.

I wish I had known about/checked out World Upholstry. I may not have saved any money, but it would have given me another option... It looks as if (approx) $350 for the pair of front seats in vinyl is "the going rate" anywhere you can find them. Wow, getting the back seats redone is an expensive proposition. I mean, for that kind of money, you'd actually want to use the seats! Sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to pass on that.

I couldn't find my original fabric anywhere (charcoal/gray/white herringbone), but Inland Imports said that if I sent some fabric swatches that he'd do his best to get a good match. I sent a large piece of the original fabric, and six other samples of herringbone styles, so hopefully he'll be able to find a close match. Here in the Deep South, vinyl or leather inserts just aren't practical without A/C, you have to have fabric inserts for any measure of comfort.

I see these offered on e-bay quite frequently. They usually end up going for $250-$260. I was thinking of getting a set of these to try them out. I have the hogclips and hogclip pliers available to me at work, so I may try to do this myself. Anyone else try these guys out before?

Maybe if enough people are interested, a group buy would bring the cost of these covers down? Just a thought.

The dude from Inland said he would sell them to me off ebay for $235 all day long, but that was a year or so ago when I had bid that much on an auction but was outbid.

I'd be willing to bet a group could get that or better. I want a couple sets just to rebuild the good cores that I have. I am using racing seats in my cars but you know me.

FYI- you can pick up later ('85.5+) full leather 944 seats with driver's side power switches in the $300-400 range in excellent/perfect condition. I know some of you want to avoid leather, but it's a great option for anyone else. The design is vastly more comfortable than the early seats.
