: What's the cost for installation of seat covers? Jimmy P Apr 29th, 08, 2:29 PM Just wondering what a fair price should be. I'm on the fast track to finishing my car and am thinking about farming out the seat cover install to speed things up. How much for a set of buckets?

FlameOut Apr 29th, 08, 11:07 PM I just paid $300 for front buckets and $190 for rear. I supplied new foam for buckets and new Legendary covers for both front and rear.

I supplied the covers. Paul I need to move :( mr 4 speed May 2nd, 08, 10:22 PM If all they need is covers,its not a bad job to do yourself. Jimmy P May 2nd, 08, 10:42 PM Thanks for all the input. I think we all can learn something here. I found a really cool upholstry guy today. I told him what I had. He quoted $250. Then, he said most of the work was removing the outer parts and replacing them. I asked how much if I broke them all the way down and he just hog-ringed and installed the covers the right way, with extra fluff and using a heat gun. $125 ! I can live with that! This guy is good and has doine 100's of GM buckets so I trust him. He promised no wrinkles or bulges, nothing but straight. I'm down with that! 70 Gold Nugget May 3rd, 08, 12:17 PM DJW is right on about this...50 per hour is sort of the going rate nowadays it seems...typically I'll do a set of buckets and back seat and usually throw the carpet in too for 300 plus some change for burlap etc...that is assuming I ain't replacing a dozen springs or using new foam that I have to modify etc...but even then it is 350 or 400 at the outside... JimmyP that sounds like a real good price you better jump on it before it goes up like everything else... | ||
