Pics of my re-upholstered seats!

I decided to keep the stock seats and get them re-done. Thanks for all the comments helping me figure out the best way (new after market vs stock). I had this idea of adding some white trim and keeping the red with the red inside. Here is the results of my madness and the skill of Pat Villa, Villa Auto Tops in Tracy. I am pretty happy with them, what do you think?

Nasty! This makes me want to get seats really bad. Run with shadys idea and paint a white stripe in the door panels.

The were 325 plus another 75 for the console. But in reality the seats were like 3000 because my wife wanted a new fence for the house and well you know how it works heheh I got my seats, she got the new fence....(I got both bills)

sorry to thread jack but its not really, i think my dad lost his mind. not only did he pick up painting and is pretty damn good at it he re-upholstered his seats and interior with all new vynils and carpet on the seats doors headliner and then teh dash, and i thought he was FINALLY done with his car, and the guy goes and buys foam sheets and starts carving out new cushions..... i think he is going daffy, but maybe i can make some money off this, any one need some re-upholstery done? lol. but any who if my dad can do it with no advise or anything, i think with some help you can get you interior all done and matching quikly and less expensive than paying someone to do it.

Seats look good, but I have to agree with the other guys, you need more white in the interior now!
