Hey all, I am new here. I have a question. I have a 92 Civic 4 door. I would like to recover the seats in a black/ burgandy skeem. What material is best, viynal? Fabirc? leather is kinda spendy and probably hard to work with. I am trying to do both front and back. I would like to know where I can find out how to do it, I am willing to learn and take my time, but would like to do it myself since its lookin like repeted unfortanate incedents have made this car is destined to be my genni pig:(. Also, I'd like to viynal wrap as much of the interior as I can, door panels, roof liner, dash, sunvisors, rear deck, etc. I am have the time to take the parts out of the car and do it right, so any adive and info will help. I figure this is better than paint the interior like some people. Thanks for the help:)

Hey dude.

i don't know much about interior retrimming, especially to the extent that you are talking about, however i was on amazon.com the other day and there were about 15 books all on exactly what u want to do, just the begginers through to experienced methods of retrimming, repanneling and the like. A bit expensive but if as u say this is your guinne pig then i am sure it would make good reference material for futher mods on later cars. All i can say directly though is that leather is well expensive and quite hard to work with, vinal is sweet and reasonable cheap, door panels would probably require a hell of a lot of work to completely retrim and the seats are going to be a bitch unless u r handy with a sewing machine. So i'd recommend looking into one of those books or talking to a copmany that is top shit with this stuff, just to get some pointers, afterall nothing beats experience for learning.

cheers. tom
