My only input on interior re-upholtery is look for Restoration Shops near you. Old car guys know all about this stuff.
Also, I've noticed a few ads in the back pages of the sport compact type magazines.
Leatherskins or somethin' like that!

Rep Power: 351 you can get leather kits that cover the seats in custom colors or you could reupholster your OEM seats. The racing seats would look better once you reupholster but your gonna have to buy some that are the regular colors. I have a set of Seats meant for your car for sale if your interested. They are red but since your wanting to reupholster them anyway you might want them. PM me or email me at jade_dragon33@hotmail.com

Rep Power: 366 I agree. Katzkins is good. But if you go to a body shop and tell them what you want to do, I'm sure they can find a way to customize it for you. You'd probably be able to save yourself some $$$.

Rep Power: 341 Go to your local VW dealer and ask. The better ones that I've dealt with all know where to go for the best katzkin. The katzkin installer should be able to get ahold of hot pink for you.

Rep Power: 0 Look in your local phone book for vinyl or leather repolstry. that is probally your easiest way to do it. Thats how i found the places that are doin mine. if your get it vinyled you can get it done in any color. I was told that they can match color too with vinyl.

Rep Power: 0 Just get your OEM seats rewrapped in vinyl. That's probably your best choice if you want odd colors. They can do your seats, door panels, and arm rest to match. I think around where I live, two tone front/rear seats, door panels, and center console come to around 600-900 bucks. Call around to some upholstrey places and get a quote.

Rep Power: 0 its pretty hard to find stuff like this in louisiana, really you should ask around locally. I live in NO east near Michoud, where alot of people are into this kind of stuff, ill try to ask around for you but most people act like their giving away government secrets or something.
good luck!
PS im lookin for something in blue,grey,and black, either the racing seats or re-upholstered

Rep Power: 0 my car is black... (coupe)... i have 17's, projector headlights.. euros... exhaust, etc... spoiler on the back... so when u look at it in a parking lot, you would expect a guy to be driving in it. so i want people to know that a girl really is the owner.. ya know?? so can ANY upholster place do this?? i dont want to do anything to my regular seats, because when i sell/trade in, i want the factory stuff... i'd pay for new seats, but i'd really like seat covers... not like the kind that look like they are from walmart, but the kind that fit very tight... i dont care how much i have to pay.. but i dont want to "settle" for anything..i want it to be just how i want it... thanks for all of your help.. keep the suggestions coming...

Rep Power: 310 put stuffed animals all across your rear deck. Depending on what characters the stuffed animals are, you can tell whether the car is a teenage girl owned or a family owned vehicle.
