Total bill was $450 which is a bargain in the bay area. Your prices may vary. Look at SMS Fabrics' web site if you want original material.

I'm also adding a lumbar support to the stock seat as arch support. http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/pedecafiunhe.html no better time than now.

One suggestion Chevy Kid, put pockets along the front of the seat, it's a great place to stash sunglasses, cigars, whatever. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 43 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 43 |

Had my bench repadded as required, and totally tuck 'n' rolled, plus new door panels, full length, to match--total for labor and all materials: $200. | | |
