Default Upholstery Question

I want to totally reupholster my ride. I have a 98 LX with the tan interior[:@]. It freaking blows. I want to do everything in light gray and black and maybe do everything else in carbon fiber. Does anyone have any pointers or pics that I can see? I have never done it better. Is it hard?

My buddy just redid the upholstery on his T/A, and it turned out REALLY well. Its the most god aweful fabric I've ever seen, but the workmanship is right on the money. He said some spray adhesive, and a few other odds and ends and he was golden. He also mentioned that it looked like *** when before he reinstalled it, but once the put all the screws and clips back on, all the slack went away and like I said, it looks perfect now.

Unfortunately no, and hes got it put up for the winter. I'll give him my cam and have him snap a pic one day next week.

i only suggest getting your seats reapolestered by a pro. he will actually take the old factory covers off and put new ones on whatever u want cloth, vinyl , or leather. the seat covers u see like skins i have heard are poor quality and really hard to do yourself and i would be afraid that the spray would wear off

^^ i agree, that you should get it done by a pro, let me warn you tho..its not cheap, i have been wanting to take upholstery classes to i can learn how to do that kind of stuff for seats and add-ins and stuff like that but i cant seem to find any classes like that around here..hopefully something will pop up tho
