Is it as easy as opening the yellow pages or what? There is a S14 at the local jyard with jacked seats and I want to reupholser my stock back seat for when I get my new carpet here in a few weeks. Any ideas of cost and such? Thanks for answering what I fear to be a simple question...

look for some upholstry shops. they'll also like you a lot better if you take the seats out yourself and bring it to them that way.

Removing them was my plan. I def. don't want leather (I only like black and black leather in Texas is too damn hot)

indeed, mine are a dark red and kill me in the summer, they also don't hold you in very well as leather is usually a little more slick

they're so comfy when in moderate weather though:D

do the seats have the ever lovely butt rip in them?

I've got leather, and it holds me in just as well as cloth. . but then again, I WEAR my car. . so I wouldn't go anywhere if I was sitting on ice. :D

I like how my shirt doesn't get untucked just from getting in and out of my car, too. . that's why I like leather lol. . mine shows dirt pretty well tho. . I've got light tan leather in my 97. .but it cleans VERY easily, and looks nice when you've got it cleaned up :D

I can spill stuff on it and not worry

you should try wearing nylon pants in it:D fun times trying to stay seated when braking...

it is indeed durable and if properly cared, will last better and smell better than cloth.
