I have had several inquires from mud/csc members concerning the cost of having their 80 seats re-upholstered. My pricing on these seats is determined by their complex, multi piece nature. My quoted price has been $975 minus 10% for CSC Members.

In this market I understand $975 is a heafty price. The only way for me to bring the price down is bulk. My Upholster/seamster (seamstress seems so feminine for a 50 year old man) can create a patter, sew the pieces, and cover one set of 80 seats in about a day and a half. Or, he can create 1 pattern, and sew 10 seat sets in twice that time.

Quantity is key. If 10 CSC/Mud members will commit to having their front 80 seats reupholstered I will lower the price to $775 per set, installed and out the door. At this price I can not include any discount, sorry.

This price is for a synthetic material or factory cloth. Honestly, It is a good substitute and may trick you if not for the smell of genuine leather. If you want 100% leather, increase the price to $1600

What do you all think. Any feedback is always appreciated.

You are talking about having the factory cloth replaced with cloth correct?

If you are wanting to replace the old leather with cloth there are a few things you should know. The seat cushions for OE leather are NOT the same as the cloth. What about head rests? Door inserts? Console cover and seat backs?

Color choices and patterns or std gray and tan?

What does "Per Set" include exactly?

Best,

Shane,

Cloth seats will be recovered in factory cloth, unless leather is requested. Leather Seats will be recovered in synthetic leather or 100 genuine, unless cloth is requested. A "set" Is all front seating, seat bottoms, seat backs, Head rest ect.. In short any item associated with the front seats. Door inserts and/or console cover, if needed, will be an additional charge.

Thanks
Josh

Josh,

Shane makes fantastic looking leather replacement kits, in both FZJ80 and LX450 patterns, that are exact duplicates of the original leather. He has leather for seats, headrests, arm rests and center console. Seat leather is available for all three rows.

Might be faster and easier to work a deal with Shane since he already has done the heavy lifting on this. He has good pricing and the reviews of his product have been very good as well.

Check out the link in his post

I would be interested in what you might charge to install Shane's covers on my front seats.


Thanks and Good luck with your business.

sent PM to Shane. If they are replacement covers I wish he would have said so. I have been looking for a pre fab replacement option. Thanks for the heads up
