Default Reupholstering

Where would I be able to get a set of racing seats reupholstered at? Anyone have a clue on how much this kinda of stuff costs?

A lot of seat companies sell replacement covers, I guess it would depend on the seat though. I have had a lot of work done by Howells Upholstery on Aberdeen Rd. in Hampton and they always did a great job.

Did they do good work? I met a guy last week who was talking about selling his Corbeaus for very cheap, but they are blue, and slightly faded. I'm not sticking blue seats in my orange car, so I was thinking about checking prices on having them reupholstered in black, and possibly a different material, like what USDM ITR seats are done in.

They did excellent work. They redid the seats in my 63" Fairlane and they were amazing. They have do lots of other work for me and we use them at work to do shop vehicles and used cars and have never been disappointed.

But you might want to look into replacement covers from Corbeau they may be cheaper.

I have no clue where I'd look for those, haha. In fact, I didn't even know they were made. Any chance you'd know where to look for more info? Obviously, besides the Corbeau website.

No idea at all. I know the Sparco seats I used to have you could get replacement covers for. It may not be the same for Corbeau however.

You could go to young upholstery on little creek road a little past Mil. HWY. He'll charge about 400.00 for both seats. Great group of guys and I haven't had any problems with them. And yes they do great work. oh yeah and mine are leather so yours maybe a little cheaper.
