I posted in the "interiors forum", but I don't anyone really looks in there. So I'll repost here hoping for some help.

Here's the other posthttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=137368

I recently acquired new S14 seats for my 92 vert. I got them cheap!

But, two are dirty, and two don't match, so i want to see if I can find a good way to recover or reupholster the seats.

I have been looking on EBAY and other internet site.. but everything look like a pillowcase. I don't like the baggy look of cheap autozone seat covers. I need something form fitting. It doesn't have to be perfectly stiched in the middle like the stock seats are, but I would like them to at least look like they belong.

Does anyone have any ideas? Any pics of your seat covers?

Does anyone sell custom fitting covers that I can zip on like the old ones zip off?

Thanks for the help!!!

Well, IMHO even though it is much more expensive, Ilike the idea of reupolstering the seat.

BUT....

If your not going to dothe entire interior, Idon't think doing just two seats is worth it.

I personally would just throw seat covers over the seats while you are still in heavy construction on your car.

Once youget everything pretty much completed, then throw down the extra cash and get the entire interior done.

I like the way you phrase that... "Heavy Construction".

I really does feel like that sometimes.

I agree that $30 seat covers are a step up over the current condition, but I am really hoping someone has a idea of how to do a more permanent nice looking fix for $100 or so..

Thanks for the reply!
