Since were on subject, how much do you think a good reupholster job would cost for 2 leather seats?

Just to give you an idea.... we had our 90 done about 1 month ago at a local shop. They did the front seats, rear seats, door panels, rear side panels, and sections next to the back seats and the Ebrake boot for $1,011 out the door. Nice grey leather.
 
1000 bucks dang its gonna cost me 1200 for the full interior for my chevelle in dark green color... front and rear seats, headliner, carpet, floor mats, door panels, rear package tray, all insulation, rear panels, sun visors, and some other stuff.

now for the supra, ive tried saddle soap, turtle wax leather cleaner, maguires leather cleaner and the best was the turtle wax but it still didnt do it...

Wow man you got a great deal! I've asked local shops were I live and they wanted that much for my front seats

I just want to know about getting the color back into the seats...not replacing them or the leather. The only things wrong with my leather in my car is it is faded and the drivers has too small rips. Anyone know how to fix these rips? Are there any good seat covers that actually fit the stock seats?

do a google on Permatex and search through their web site. They have a vinyl and leather adheasive that is to be used exactly foor what you need it for. I haven't used the product myself, but I have used other products of theirs and have all worked great for me. Hope this helps. Good Luck! :biglaugh:
 
Where can I get new Shifter and Ebrake boots? My Shifter boot is black and my ebrake boot is maroon like the interior but they both are in bad shape...I also need a shift knob.

I noticed with the turle wax if I spray it on the leather and dont wipe it off. It will bring the color back alot but leave lots of spots tho...

I pulled the back seat out and I saw a piece of leather under the seat that was hog ringed to the frame... What is this for? looks like it might be a piece that you can use to patch something or something like this?

I have 2 small rips in my drivers seat how do you patch rips? I was thinking of some strong glue and a patch on the back side of the leather?

While bonniebuttons boots are made pretty well, they still don't have the OEM "look" they look out of place IMO. New OEM Toyota ones aren't that expensive, I say make the investment. :)
