Reupholstering...
Ryan and I were discussing seat covers vs. reupholstering the other day, the ups and downs of both. Its not getting done anytime in the near, near future for the Camaro, or the Trans Am. Just a consideration. Anyways, what do you think the cost to get the front and back seats reupholstered would be(an estimate). No leather, thinking along the lines of fabric or vinyl.

I'd guess 400, but that's a 100% guess. Biggest thing is that it'd be a "custom job." If you could find replacement covers in fabric of vinyl from ebay or something, that would reduce it a lot I would think.

Nothing like a good guess. 
I think it'd be worth it, though, because a nice custom set of covers (especially like the neoprene, I really like neoprene for some reason) would really set an interior off.

cant you do it yourself? Would you just need to take the seats out and take off the fabric thats on there now and use that for your template, and just measure and what not and sew a new cover and just slide it on?
