Re-covering seats?

I have a Momo seat that is worn pretty bad on the left bolster around the hip area. I want to have it re-covered, possibly with some black suede.

Who has had a seat re-covered before? What materials did you use? What price will i be looking at?

Hopefully its not terribly expensive.

That all depends on a few things:

Can you find a kit to re-cover the seats (ebay, google search)?
Do you know someone in the biz?
Are you near an upholstery school where a student needs a project?

I was looking into getting some BMW sport seats re-covered some time ago and found it too expensive. My research produced a range of $800 - $1,800 (or more depending on the material) to get the seats done.

My advice would be to find a set that are in better shape. I know the up-front cost will be more, but they will be cheaper than getting a set re-covered.

That's my two cents!

Make sure you know what they are putting in and on your seat!
