Cloth seats?
Anyone ever reupholster their seats in cloth? Seen it done on a variety of customs and muscle, and they look great. I've always preferred cloth.

Don't recall seeing anyone post up pics of doing their seats in cloth, but no reason it can't be done. If you do it, post up pics.

I have Wet Okole covers now, and for me, they are more comfortable than standard. I'd like a little splash to the interior and something out of the ordinary, perhaps a material that would help me stay in place at HPDE's.

I love the Mitsubishi Evo 9 seats I put in my coupe. They're partly leather with an Alcantara and cloth seating surface. They are very comfortable and very grippy. I feel really planted and connected to the car. Now I would find it hard to go back to all leather seats. A good upholstery shop should be able make skins in any fabric you choose.

I have a friend near me in Newton who is a national award winning car upholsterer, if you are really interested. Master Upholstery, Newton. Amazing work.
