Hi -

My used 95 GLE came with damaged vinyl side planels on the driver's seat. Anyone know of an inexpensive way to get a new leather seat or replace just the front seats with a kit? I saw the GD on the Katzskin kits, but those are $500+ for all the seats, plus installation. I need only the driver's, or at most, the front two seats redone - and I don't have $500 to spend on the project.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Unless you want to get those cheesy looking "leather" seat covers at PepBoys or Autozone you are pretty much out of luck. You may be able to find a group buy but I think either way your going to pay in up of 500. Check out ebay for used seats and you may find a bargain. Although the shipping costs (unless its a local pickup) will not make it such a bargain. Good luck! Stay away from ricey Pepboys and Autozone crap.

 

hey, i have the same problem but my rear seats are wrecked and my fronts are good. if you want, we can buy a interior set together and you get the front seats and i'll take the back seats. you need black leather right?

 

There you go! Good plan king.

 

king - that acutally sounds like the best plan I have heard so far... I am looking for black leather, and I have no use for the rear seat kit...

I've PM'ed the ATC folks that are offering the group buy, and I'll PM you when I hear from them, does that sound ok?

Cheers,

whos the ATC folks?

 

I mistyped - ATD is the company in Connecticut that is going a group buy for the Katzskin interior for (I think) $520. Even with shipping, it is under $550. They even throw in contrasting stitching, I believe. Glad to see you're still interested, I'll PM you or post when I find out an actual price.

Thanks!
