Leather

I recently bought a stock civic seat and i am reshaping it by adding foam here and there and subtracting foam. I am now to the point of rewrapping it, where can i get some leather to wrap it in..just sheets, and not real leather i think you know what i mean. thx

Re: Leather

have you checked around at local fabric stores? that would probably your best bet.. if they don't have any i'm sure they could tell you where to get some

Re: Leather

lemme see some pics of what you did. plz

and yah, grab a yellow page book and look up fabric and find a fabric warehouse that will sell ya some vinyl. go for the marine grade vinyl because its uv protected, more resistant to stains and is much softer than the cheaper stuff.

over this summer i'm going to DIY wrap my seats in charcoal and light grey(both are honda oem colors in my interior)

got any tips you'd like to share?

hey Delerious do you need a HUGE ASS picture of your integra that needs to be lowered in your sig?

Dont do Vinyl, its cheap and it looks cheap.

Katskins makes NICE real leather kits that arent too pricey.

Re: Leather

everyone's always hatin' on me these days... it's not that big.. just wide.. it's only like 30 or 40 pixels taller than whtteg's sig.. if i shrink the picture any more it'll be all blurry. if you convince a mod to tell me to change it i will, if not... well you know
