re-upholstery

[91HBSi]

I need to get an estimate on how much it would cost to get my seats recovered in a different color and the top half of my door panels re-vinyled. Thanx

I was going to do that, and it would've cost me about $1200 CDN. But for a more accurate price, you should just go to your local reupholstry place and ask them for an estimate.

do it yourself, but do it in vinyl

I was thinking about it, but I don't want vinyl because it is always humid down here and I would stick to it.

[kicker1_solo]

yeah, I guess you're right. Sticky when it's hot and very cold when it's cold.

You could always choose different materials... like neoprene (wetsuit material but, I don't know where to get that) or luck out and find some microfiber (I actually found some microsuede... feels real nice!)

yeah, neoprene would be cool. I like the way it feels, and it holds up really well. I think I am just going to leave the interior how it is for now though.

I will eventaully change it, because I really don't like the 4th gen civic interior. It is cheap looking. I don't think I am going to change the seats though, I like them; just not the rest of the interior.
