I was actually going to go through them for covers,but found that the local shop could do the front Sport seats,and back Turbo Coupe seats (with fold down arm rest) for $550.00 in and out. That made the decision clear.For $900.00,you could order some really nice new seats.

You found a local shop that will do the front and back seats in leather for $550?

Ah.... then the prices on the site aren't so bad as they are for leather. Still, I'll have to check with my local shop and get a price but I would imagine they will be more expensive as the local shop will be more "one off" whereas this company will be more "production line" in their manufacturing methods.

I had my 442 seats done in a faux-leather called Allante that is ed near impossible to tell from the real stuff so I'll have to see what savings that might net me. Of course, with the 442 I spent a wee bit more than $900! Then again, it has two colors and real rolled and pleated inserts too.

I have a second full set of seats, so there will be no down time, and that will come in quite handy when dealing with a local shop!

I spent $900 three years ago to have just my front seats redone in factory Ford leather. Do you know how hard it was to find that stuff? To me it was worth it.
