Leather Seat Covers

[jonjon]

i'm interested in getting front and back seats for an r34 gtt

[turbohectics]

do you have to sew them to the seat or do they just slide over the top of the original seats

[WazR32GTSt]

am also keen, but i don't see why i would pay $500 for an aussie-built version if there is an overseas supplier that can make them for $350??

c'mon guys lets get this going its bloody cheap

if we could get the exact same thing going as they have in teh thread for the stagea's then its perfect! ie inner colour, outer clour, stiching colour, nissan logo...

wtf - more affordable???? A normal leather seat retrim is $4k-$10k .... I think these things are an absolute bargain at $400. If he would just do some fronts for me for a bit cheap I'd take them in a snap.

haha r u serious? 4 to 10 grand for leather seats.......where????

ive paid like 1200 for a suade hoodlining, pillars, door inserts, gear stick and handbrake boots, and full leather seats

Then you bought the mega cheap stuff mate (or we MASSIVELY get shafted here in Adelaide) .... I have been to several reputable places here in SA and for any sort of decent leather retrim for the things you are talking would be almost $10k. I was quoted $6k for just my seats, door inserts and steering wheel, at one place using top quality Italian leather. The guy was talking about 30 hours labour @ $70 per hour for a start - you paid half of that amount with no material, which is the major costs involved.

On that front, can anyone buy coloured cows at a decent price? I might grab a large piece of leather if I can find one at the right price, and get seat by seat done, one at a time.

[GOR33]

nah mate i got the real thing, my mate works for precise trimming up here on the gold coast, i think its just more likley that your getting ripped off man. dont get me wrong i got looked after and did sum of the work myself but still to get your whole interior done ud be lookin at 6 grand, not 6 for just the seats!!!!

[Nightcrawler]

ah that makes more sense.

Nah that is the price down here - plenty of guys pay $10k+ for the whole interior to be done.

[32brother]

I was speaking with a trimmer down here in Melbourne who use to trim hotties and all show cars for the last 18 years, he said if you got Lamborghini grade hide it would be around 3k a square meter (I think by memory) thats with absolutely no blemishes or marks on it. Also said, better off going for the Bmw grade leather, his cost for this on front and rear seats, door trims and boots would be way under 4k. Aparantley theres a good distributor in port melbourne.

If I paid 10k for a reco'd interior just on leather without remoulded dash, carpets etc etc.. mate, it would want to be able to give mad blowy's too.

[WazR32GTSt]

i just went down to the factory where they make these leatherette seat covers in melbourne and had a look and spoke to the guy who makes them

they seem pretty genuine so i bought a set of front/rears in ivory colour including the wrinkly style and nissan logo and handbrake cover made for the r32 delivered to brisbane for 680 get them in about a week too!

will post pics when i have them in

[MANWHOR3]
