BillZ260 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I stoped by a recomended shop to get a quote on carpet, door panells and seat recovers and basically decided to do the Carpet and Doors myself. I may let him do my seats depending on what I find. Carpet, he buys ACC's carpets and would charge me $400 labor to install, the carpet kit is about $300, YIKES! Door Panells, I told him I just wanted simple door panells with Leather Strap pulls and he said $4-500...EACH! I bought an interior finishing book for 30 bucks... Seats, If I buy the factory type slip on covers, he'll install the covers and new foam for 150 per seat, which didn't sound to bad, so if I don't find any seats I like used, I'll probably go this route. I have a story about another guy that was there, but I'll post it in the Non-Tech forum later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I went through that shock a couple years ago. Got one quote for $400 to pad and recover the stock 280Z seats and one from a guy that does work for Year One for $700! And that wasn't even leather! I bought new seats.

myplasticegg Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I ended up recovering my own... I couldn't write for 3 days, so rough on the hands. PM sent, willing to sell mine if they get a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what is so great about living where you can smell Tijuana Mexico in the morning...getting upholstery work done is so MUCH cheaper. I could get my seats done for about $60.00 to get both seats done if of course I supply the materials. Border town bennies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
