Is it hard getting the seats out to cover them?

by **gabico** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 7:18 pm

afaik its much harder to cover them properly than to take them out.

Here's mine. These were bought from Ricerocket ages ago, I think they've changed the design and colour since then.
If you are ordering cream, make sure you order enough extra material to cover the door cards and armrest.

(Must fit seatbelt guides to the seats in 2008...)

colm...........did you do it by yourself......................how long did it take......my fto is steel silver would cream look ok in my fto?

I reckon CJ's leather suits the silver best.
Personally I like the cream, but it takes more work getting the rest of the interior to match.

Most of us did the upholstering ourselves so it's very do-able. Probably takes the guts of a full day to get everything done. Sore fingers afterwards too :cry:

That's one nice looking interior CJ,
I was thinking these would go well with the theme, out of stock at the moment though...

I think those aluminium guides are quite expensive for what they are.

I had red and black leather in my black fto and they look good i now have those seats in my red fto and they suit that to

I think 2 tone is the way to go instead of all one colour, just breaks up the monotony of a single colour, NOI to those with just one colour just my opinion

Blue can look good too ditto for tan. Black is another choice but its a little dark for the FTO interior IMO...
