I was asked some time ago to help out in getting these material made. I finally got off my butt and pulled the trigger on this. I have 7 for the 9 in stock and will have the other 2 late next week.

Materials will run per yard. Or I can have kits sewn up as shown. All 4 pcs $125, + the materials cost.

It is recommended you purchase 2 yards to get the sections to line up properly, does burn up material.

I will sell sample cards for $25 each that have 3" square samples. If you buy the $25 will be credited to your purchase.

I plan to have the GB open til Dec 10th, so if you are looking for a Christmas gift for your car this might be the thing.

I sent a kit out to Ken, he should have Friday.

Material is $127 per yard
If you have us do the 4 pcs kit it will take 2 yards for all 4.

Anxious to see the black. I may need to get on this quickly.

I got the German Loop carpet set and new door panels from Mark awhile back. With new seat coverings my interior should be about as done as possible. If any of you are thinking about getting new carpet (and nothing makes dingy old carpet look worse than a brand new set of seats) I'd highly recommend the German Loop that Mark offers. A little pricier than domestic loop and domestic pile, but it's really nice and the loop should wear well for years and years to come.

Followed up yesterday. The grey color is matched, but as this is actually being done on the east coast we have had some weather delays. I keep checking on a weekly basis, and I do believe we are in the home stretch.

I'll be making my call here today on the Black / Grey, Hoping that it's done or at least has a schedule date. I'll let all know here later today.

I will be doing a write up on the ones I'm doing for my car in the next few weeks. I'm waiting for mine to be done too. Maybe Friday.

Read up in this thread. Mine's done and I posted photos, plus I think someone else did as well. Car is pickled in storage until the snow (and salt) goes away otherwise I'd be driving it today!

Reproducing a quality OEM spec part that has not been manufactured in decades requires:

Attention to detail
Product knowledge
Quality control
A Great deal of time and effort devoted to research and development
And most importantly Patience and Perseverance

Just food for thought. I know because I have spent countless hours researching information on VW and Porsche locks, keys, etc. and I still have much to learn and hope to continue doing so.

My guy was out of the office, so I'm still following up. I'll let you know as I'll be trying again tomorrow.

#47 should be in the group that will be done Friday. I'll let you know Rick just as soon as I get it'll be out the door to ya.

I'm working on being able to produce these and others faster and in more volume.
Not much good now but I'll be improving and expanding offerings on these.

Besides the bottom cushion, are you all using the existing foam and structure for the head and sides? or did you have it all replaced?


looking at the foam out of the first seat i stripped, I do not think it wise to just wrap it up under these new skins.

The foam for the bottom is an option, as well as seat heaters. The black and grey plaid is still somewhere in the works. I have all the thread matched, I call weekly for the production schedule, but it seems more like I'll get it when they are ready. So for now, I call weekly, don't get much info, but it will get done, it's just a matter of time. Unfortunately, I don't have much direct control but I'm persistent in calling. I hope in a few weeks to have this in hand.

Unfortunately I'm still at the mercy of the guy I have doing this. I make weekly calls. I'm trying to sweeten the pot by increasing the amount of material. I will keep you posted.
Thanks for your patience.

I would be very interested in a black grey set when you get them . Are you still making the covers? I have had the same issue trying to get the right plaid from SMS Auto Fabrics...the black grey actually came out black and tan.
The covers look amazing btw!
Thanks,

We have got the pattern correct and the Black and grey will be ready in less than 2 weeks. Yes we are doing these and will be doing a few other items to go with these very soon.

Awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
- i should be at the top of that list (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) ,
just as a reminder because its been quite a while since the initial order and payment:
dont forget my order included the bolsters, back & bottom vinyl, and
i wanted to add the seat foam and seat heaters to ship at the same time.
