1200 dollars? You could reupholster your s13 seats for 500. You could buy racing seats off ebay (sparco knockoffs, but hey they work) for even less. Or you could get some seat covers from autozone for like 12 dollars a piece (ala me.)

whoa wait you got s14 SEATS? or the covers. how much do s14 seats go for? i've heard of putting them in s13s without much hassle and thought that would be pretty sweet.

as for the $15 autozone ones... i actually tried that once, the guy let me take one out and try it on my car so i could see if it would fit. it looks really awkward because of the way the s13 seats curve around on either side. you would have to do some sewing or stapling or something to get it to hug the seat nicely. =/ so i didnt buy them.

i got el cheapo walmart clearance ones... & yea, they don't hug the curvy seats as much, but it does hide the notorious hole on the d/s hump & the fuzziness tweed upholstry...

lil sis goes, "geez, your car's too fuzzy" while vaccuumin' my ride... :cwm27

Can you take the actual Tweed cover off? I would just have Grandma sew down the places where the AutoZone covers don't stick. But if your like me wait a little bit an get the cheapest Spacro racing seats you can, which are still going to be uber awesome.

Hey, you can get nice leather seat covers from autoleathers.com for less than $1000.

This includes front and rear seats, door panels and under the glove compartment.

Check out this work done, tan seats with black inserts.

:oy: ya, for that kinda $, it better look that good!

but most o' us would like to use that to keep these soon-to-be classics "road-worthy" & will have to resort to jury-riggin' the interior in the meantime.

:rockon again, sweet except for that knob stickin up from the rest of the shifter...

remedy: unscrew the knob, take the trim panel off, slide a length of coolant/heater hose over the shaft so that the ring of the shifter boot would touch your chrome-lookin' knob when put all together...

* knob= shifter ring/\shifter boot attatched to the ring|| the coolant/heater hose hidden under the shifter boot
