That was directed at Chad since this thread is about his car. He had an incident at the Indy speedway this year when the wire and connector was not of sufficent gauge and let go on him.

Definitely! I was reminded of this at BerettaFest this year. The re-upholstered interior is amazing also!

Whats a fair price to re-upholster one front seat?
My driverside one could use it.I found a place i was going to use for the headliner in the spring.They also do interiors.I guessing they could use new padding?

Thank you all for the great comments. As far as cost goes....I went through SMS to get my cloth. It cost me $95 a yard for cloth. With using 14 yards of cloth to redo the seats, you get the idea of cost on that. I then had a local shop refoam each seat and put the seats together. The shop charged me around $850 to do all of this. I bought extra cloth for the middle console and I also bought new carpet. I installed the carpet and the seats to save a few bucks on labor. To redo one seat would be cheaper....but then the rest of the seats would look dirty. Keep in mind, that gray cloth was around $38 a yard. A lot cheaper then my tan interior due to the gray cloth being a more common color. Of course, I wanted to keep the original cloth color.

SMS doesn't list our years, how did you look it up or match it?

Not everyone lists what they have on websites... a phone call or email inquiry can yield results, along with an interior color code.

Ok I guess that was my question, I didn't know if he called with an interior code or not, it looks like a classic car restoration website and I know how some of them respond when your asking for materials for a 90's car...

I sent them an email. They mailed me, after 2 weeks, every single sample of cloth they had for my car with the tan interior. Then I called and they knew how much I needed. I bought an extra yard of each. Good thing too.
