Title: Seats and carpet
Post by: Gonzobobcat on May 21, 2013, 03:17:33 PM
Just an update to one of my earlier post "New upholstery".  I went with these seat covers- "TMI Upholstery Front Buckets Vinyl Black High Back Coupe/Hatchback 1979-1980."  They're not a perfect fit but didn't turn out too bad.  They were $222 with shipping.  Sure beats $400 per seat, that the local upholstery guy quoted.

This was the original style of seat.  (still have this cover is anyone is interested)

The carpet came from StockInteriors.com for $125.  Fits perfect.

That looks great considering they were made for a different seat. It really dresses things up.

They look really nice for a manufactured seat cover!

The install wasn't bad.  Took only a few hours.  Only one "ribbing" didn't line up.   I had to remove rust from the drivers side seat pan and I needed to buy a star socket to separate the upper back of the seats.

I bought them thru CJ pony parts. {cjponyparts.com}   Checked the site today and they are $249.

You might want to give them a call and ask for the $222.45 price.
