Default seats

Been a few years since I been but the ones I saw done were all done very good. If my seats needed to be done why not use someone that was an expert and had the materials on sight. I would assume the labor and materials would be a combo price. Most of vendors I have dealt with there knew their stuff and offered great deals. You could also call vendor a head of time and get price now and make an appointment and ensure your color he has in stock. Just my 2 cents.

Yea sounds good Rich, I plan on doing that I was just reaching out to see if anyone on the forum actually had it done on the fairgrounds . My corsa took 20 min to install there last year, I'm thinking the seats will take a bit longer. Lol

Call Al Knoch, he's the best at Carlisle as far as installs go.

I just spoke with Al Knoch's show installation scheduling coordinator two days ago. To recover a pair of C5 sport seats in leather with new foam was going to run between $1,400 and $1,500. To do the driver's seat only (and they recommend against doing one seat only) was going to be just short of $800.00.

I am quite familiar with their work and it is top notch.
