Has anyone had their stock leather seats recovered with leather? My driver's seat is starting to look worn and I was wondering where I could get a good recovering job done, how much it would cost and how long it would take.



I am looking to have the fit and finish as close to original as possible but would prefer top grain leather versus the split hide stuff that is on there now.

you have basically two options.

1. the factory seat covers are available

2. you can take it to an upolstry shop, try to find one that does older/concours cars.

On the other forum there was a guy who did a seatcover and it looked just like the stock seatcover!! It was AWSOME. I am thinking about it myself.
