    These look great! Great job man.

    How much fabric did you use for them? I'm thinking about having a friend redo mine.

        I would say probably about 5 yards of suede and 3 yards of vinyl, I bought all my fabric in the trimmings section at hancock fabrics and paid less than $50 for all the materials.

                I almost want to learn how to do this. My interior is nice, but some brand new high quality, soft vinyl would be amazing.

                  That looks really good, I like the stitching on the thigh support. Very inspiring for my project, thanks for sharing!

                        I've been thinking about doing this for a while. Gonna do it now after seeing this.
                        I have friends who are EOD bro.

                        That's awesome. I have friends who make coffee for a living, but you don't see me rocking out a bunch of lattes

                          Really great work! How much time would you estimate that you have in the seats?

                            Thanks for all the compliments guys, for the back of the seats I am spraying them black with SEM Color coat which is a vinyl paint as one of them started out black and one blue. It would be difficult to wrap the backs with fabric so I am choosing just to respray them.

                            I couldnt tell you how much time, at a minimum 12 hours. But much of that time was devoted to establishing good templates for the different panels. I could probably knock out a set of covers now in 3 hours.

                            Pics of the seats in the car still to come.

                                Those look clean! Great job! Are you sticking to seats or will you start making other parts too?
