Reupholstering Interior

Typical scenario, I have a third gen that has the driver seat worn pretty bad. I want to try and keep it original, but can't seem to find the right material.

It is a plastic/cloth grey combination - most places I've seen have either vinyl, cloth or velour, not a plastic/cloth combo.

Any ideas where else to look? Also, how hard is it to do yourself?

If I paid someone to do it, how much would I be looking at?

Thanks for your help!

George

Do you have a picture? I'm not sure if I've ever seen a plastic/cloth combo. Have you contacted HAWKS?

I'll try and take a pic, but I guess a more accurate description is vinyl and cloth. On the cushion and back rest, the sides that you actually sit/lean on are plastic with only the center piece is cloth.

it's a pain in the *** to reposlter the seats your self if you never did it before. Better off taking it somewhere to have it done it should run around $350-$500 for both.
