Reupholstery

Does anyone know how much it would be to reupholster a set of seats? Maybe just the front only? They're Recaro's and they are MINT, but the leather is ever so slightly worn from entering and exit the car over the past 5 years.

:/

Recaros with some nice Alcantara inserts ala Subies would be awesome.

Agreed, **** drives me nuts! My problem is the leather is worn from the guy before me from getting in and out of the car for 4 years straight and almost 1 year from me.

It's not bad, by any means, but I'm very picky.

suede and alcantar you cannot get any sort of liquid on or be ready for problems...... you need special cleaners for it aswell.
