Default 86 Interior question

It's time to redo the interior in my 86. I have the base seats with cloth. My car is Silver-beige Metallic so the interior is brown. I'd like to get new seat covers and foam. I can get the foam from The Last Detail for about $250. My problem is that I haven't been able to find anyone who sells cloth seat covers. I don't like leather, so don't even try to talk me into those. Also, who has the best deals on good quality carpet sets and door panels?

Thanks, Ben

I got my complete carpet set from TLC for under $500. Great quality ACC carpets mass backed.

I recently had my seats reupholstered in cloth. You're right; I couldn't find anyone that sells the cloth covers either. I ended up going to a local shop that does a lot of custom work on older vehicles, hot rods, etc. I paid about $700 for custom covers and installation work on both seats, and I bought new foam for the driver's side from Zip. You could probably do better since I live in high-cost California. :)

I've heard so many good comments regarding The Last Detail, I'm going to order from them when I do my rear carpeting. Their prices seemed pretty good too. :cheers:

I'm glad to hear all this, since I'm a good customer of The Last Detail and they're only about 15 miles from my house <grin>.
