How much fabric to reupholster front seats?

[OneCleanE30]

As the title states ladies and gents, i'm curios as to how much fabric i would need to reupholster my front sport seats? I would be purchasing uberkaro fabric for them and having them professionally redone.. That stuff is expansive as hell and i don't want to buy way too much. Anyone have any idea?

Ask whoever you are going to get them done to specify an amount, and then buy a little more...

I'll add to this sound advice that the guy who just did my cabrio interior told me that to do another set of front sport seats to get 2 yards of bolster fabric and 2 for the centers.

I believe the last rule of thumb was 5 yards, but don't quote me.

Thats valid for an entire interior w door cards and only applies to the center panels not the bolsters, head rests etc. I bought 5 for my cabrio and have close to a yard left after doing the doors & rear qtrs but I also bought 4yds of the bolster fabric and have maybe 1/2 yard left....so close more like 8 or 9 for an entire cabrio interior

Again, the guy who did this for me (and did an amazing job) told me 2 and 2 just to do front sports. YEMV
