Custom doesn't necessarily mean expensive. I really don't know what they would charge but you can give them a call. It's possible they can just sew in a few of the panels and save the rest. You might also save some $$ but taking off the cover yourself and bringing it to them for the sewing. I can help you with the removal/re-installation and foam rebuilding.

I was figuring on installing myself if I buy a new cover. I would be concerned with doing more damage trying to remove and re-install an old one. Just afraid stuff would start pulling apart as I understand it can take a fair amount of stretching to get them on.. There is a member in Michigan that has a decent looking seat I might still try to get. He was originally thinking pull the cover off, but I did not want to buy it and wreck it installing on mine. Now he is willing to sell whole thing. Guess I need to look into transport options. Karl suggested someone bring it to Carlisle - unless I can find a way sooner.

Yeah, I usually pay closer attention to correct spelling and grammar usage...but I'm still sick with this stupid sinus bug and back at work feeling like my head is going to explode...so today, I just really don't give a fluck.

I'll just make a note and when I feel better I'll photochop you wearing the "Grammar Police" uniform.

Either that, or you humping a tortoise...I'll decide later.

I am finally feeling slightly better - I did make it to work and all that. The cough and sniffles are 95% gone - just still a little stuffy, with any luck, one more night of rest... been zero fun that's for sure.

Hey Keefer, I called them just to get a ballpark estimate and they said top end would be around $1000 for a total rebuild of the seat, cushion and all new cover including removal and installation of the seat in the car. My guess would be around $300 if you just have them sew up a new cover and do the rest yourself.

thats about average then i'd say. I was quoted 1300 for my front buckets to have a custom set of covers made.
 
Just had new interview number 2, phone interview, both companies claim they like my resume

Right now, none. I just posted my resume on LinkedIn and Indeed. This last one is for the same work I'm doing now as a CAD tech but for about 10k a year more. Downside is its about an hr away from home so I'd really net very little gain
