[MR2] Reupholstered Seats

[Bob Schultz]

I think they look pretty good

I assume you reused the foam...

In a perfect world, you would have replaced everything, foam, springs,
upholstery... yes I know we are not living in a perfect world

I suspect that bit of use and some heating and cooling and the seats will
look a bunch better. I used to have upholstery work done on the cars I would
sell and a few days in the hot sun and everything would just seem to melt
into shape.

I picked up my reupholstered seats today.  Leather outers, suede center
sections.  I'm satisfied, but not thrilled.  I don't think I could've find a
better color fit, but fit & finish just doesn't seem at OEM quality.  But
then again, I'm a recovering perfectionist with unrealistic expectations.
Maybe I'll be more satisfied once they're installed with the new carpeting,
recovered steering wheel, and replaced interior plastic panels.

Upholstery by Leatherseats.com; Color choices: "Bisque" leather outers,
custom ordered "Latte" center suede sections.  Installation by Durham
Upholstery, 1247 Westlake Avenue N.
