Golddigga Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hi, Has anybody on here ever fitted custom fit seat covers? If so where did you get them from and do you have any pics? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddigga Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Right - I did a search on this and it appears that other people that asked the question also got nil response. Do I gather from this that they don't exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phillw454 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 They must exist.... In my younger days when i used to read 'lax power' i saw a supra with cream leather seat covers, so they are out there, il have a hunt as they looked quite nice as i remeber:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 is this the kind of thing you are after http://www.leatherseats.com/Supra_leather_kit.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I want seat covers too, just liek generic 'keep the dirt off my seats' ones. I was just gonna buy unicar ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I bought some 'leather look' ones at Woolies for £6 They actually fit pretty well, but the head rest covers wouldn't go on due to the odd shape of the Supe head rests. And the driver's one rides up a bit around the front edge of the seat cushion. But I think they look ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil tt Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I brought my seat covers from leather seats, they are pretty good. I had them fitted by an upholsterer, the fit is not perfect, but pretty good(on my Soarer). I will post a couple of pics when I get home, to let you see what they look like:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 is this the kind of thing you are after http://www.leatherseats.com/Supra_leather_kit.asp Now those are a good idea. A re-trim kit for DIY. Is there a price listed??? Edit - Worked it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 What a fantastic idea. I will get a price for mine. If they do fit well, blimey I could save myself some money! Posted from US tho. No problem I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem I hope. would be interested in the price could be a cheaper alternative to a retrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 By the looks it, it would be around $809 (£405) for the whole kit (front and rear seats) that I wanted, plus delivery, plus import duty. Then you'd have to get them fitted by a professional upholsterer preferably. Probably quite costly, unless I get my grandma to do it for me! I wanted to find out how much it would be to get the 'Supra' logo embroidered into the covers, but my old Mac and IE wouldn't let me, so I couldn't go any further with the enquiry. Drat. I'm going to Gibson and Boyne on friday, so I'll get an idea of their costs then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil tt Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think its was about $1000 , then about £200 to have them fitted over here, thanks for the coment:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I've had mine all re-covered in cream leather, proper job with logos embroidered in front seats etc. IMO better stitching and fit than stock! Cost........£650 including collection and delivery of seats The guy's done alot for the 300zx lot and is as genuine as they come. I wouldn't waste time with DIY covers when you can get a proper job done for a few quid more. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil tt Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 where in wilts are you? wouldnt mind having a look at them in person I'm in Swindon, and your welcome to come have a look. I think they are pretty good fit, not sure how different a coustom fit would be as these are made for the car. The price also includes the back seats, handbrake gaitor, and the armrest cover. To have the same thing over here I was quoted over £2000:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 £2000 ! Honestly, mine are perfect and although a single colour they were £650 for all seats, fronts and rears. He does do different colour centre panels too. I need to take some pics of mine at the weekend to show the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil tt Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Maybe I should have spoken to you first, but at the end of the day I'm happy with the results, and how much they cost:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil tt Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'm impressed, like I said I had a couple of quotes, and they all wanted far to much money, would like to see a couple of pictures:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Andrew, the blokes name is Pete, his e-mail address is: [email protected] He's done a few members cars on here, I'll get some pics at the weekend. He is based in Scotland but did mine and two others as a group last year. I know he has some spare Supra seats so you aren't left without. I'll try and find the thread relating to it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
