Went to the tax preparer earlier and I'm getting way more back than I thought I was.

Anyone know about how much it costs to get your seats recovered? Someone tried to steal my seats and when they couldn't (homemade seatlocks), they just slashed them up instead.

I also figured I'd get the door inserts done while I was at it.

 

I am no too sure but i would assume that you could buy some used s2000 seats in great condition for cheaper than it would cost to recover them.
You can get ap1 seats from $300-$600. I would assume recovering them would far exceed that.

 

jpmcoachworks.com has amazing leather seat covers, but you need to have a professional install them unless you are handy with this stuff. They cost about $1,300 for the set, they look amazing. Cost no object I'd get these, and JPM is a great company to deal with.

On the cheaper side I run Clazzio seat covers from Gotuning.com , for $249 a set they look an feel much nicer than the price suggests. Leather centers and vinyl sides, with some padding. I love them and they are easy to install.

 

I would just either buy used oem seats or the Clazzio seat covers. If lots of money I would get custom ones done at a reputable upholsterer.

 

I have been known to do custom and iem style seats. You will usually spend more in completely new upholstery then if you buy oem stock seats. PM me a few pics of what you have right now and i can talk to you about which direction you might want to do.

 

Yeah, I'm kind of wary about buying OEM seats because there's a good chance that they were stolen (my original seats were stolen and I saw them up on ebay and Craigslist, the cops didn't care), and I don't want to give the bastards any reason to go do it to anyone else!

I got the seats I have now out of a wrecked S2k at a yard in Seattle. If I could make sure they're legit, sure.

I'm willing to pay for quality work. The Clazzio covers only come in black/red, right? I want all red again, or an all-red front with a black back.

 

Cool, my car's in a shop right now getting paintwork done, but I'll swing by and see if I can snap a couple pics of the driver's seat (the passenger's just has normal wear).

 

Wet Okole makes good seat covers too if you can stomache their website.

 

More than new seats if done by a pro using the correct grade of leather.

 

Try leatherseats.com. Not sure if they do the S2K or not, but I bought some for another car and installed myself. Great leather, good price, and about a couple hours work per seat.
