+1 on Trina at MOT. Had my work done at FOT, have seen lots of Trina's work, and think it is a step up

I had Munoz duplicate the OEM. Better vinyl and better stitching. Shops only do what you want them to do. Take any design and make your spec clear and you will be happy. I inspected every day. $550 for both including R&R. As good today as when it was done in '14.

Is this something you did or had done? Our seats look great, but they are in great need of new stuffing.

P.O. did my 2 chairs , 2 sofas and all valance's in leather from Falcon business jet interiors in Little Rock.. The material is pricey and was new with the rest of interior remodel when I bought it.. Will take a picture later..Not the most economical but makes a pretty nice seat.

Hey Cort, hope all is well with you guys, I found two take outs from a tiffin at a dealership, nice seats and very comfortable. Paid 1200 for the pair.

Had my jackknife done locally by a guy who does auto upholstery and he also did my dining room chairs I suppied the ultra leather. Can't remember now what I paid but there's a post on it here in the forums. Well he did an okay job they weren't great. Thinking about buying new chairs from flex steel next year or getting the ones I have redone in Mexico.

Flexsteel was selling at a discount at the Q last year when I was there. Probably will do the same this year. Steer Safe was installing at the tent show also, but didn't check price.

I need the same information, my drivers seat pad needs replaced.
Everything else is in great shape, just seat pad breaking down.

Basically what I told Vossix2 was get some hog ring pliers and hog rings pay close attention to how and where the hog rings are located and go back together in reverse order always working from center out to corner,
In dub's picture the center seam has to be fastened down then the front and back will be fastened down always starting in center of cushion and working toward ends
It is a little tedious but not rocket science
I once did 2 bucket seats in red velour tuck and roll with contrasting top stitch that were put in s custom build Study baker Truck
I was swapping work with the man who owned a bodyshop and had repaired and painted my entire car.
The old days lol!!!
