Seat Alternatives - 6G Celicas Forums

Alright, so here's the dealy. .

In the effort to make my car much needing a makeover, the seats are the next step over the winter.

I have black leather front seats, which are worn and ripped. The rear black seats are MINT. I wanted to keep the straight black. What do you all do ? Redoing the leather i'm told is over $400 . . which I think is a lot. 7th gen seats seems nice but are normally 2 tone, and very hard to find. I don't want racing seats, because that would look weird.

So . . what do you all think ? (other than get racing seats, etc).

Dr.

I'm not sure, but I think it involves you giving me those MINT back seats. >smile.gif>

A milk crate. No seriously. You could always save and get them reupholstered really nice in a vinyl color of your choice. I like the stock seats a lot. I'd love to stitch a Celica dragon in them and dye the middle or something.

i would save to get the leather seat...you can two tone them or just a nice black....there is tons of black leather soo i would just save....as why leather is more expensive is do to the fact you dont buy roll of leather in yards like vinyl you have to buy it by the cow....as i was told by my local place.. ..you staight pimp it...go gucci
I'll call around, but for the $400-500 for 2 reupholstered seats I thought I could get a way better deal, but I guess not. . thats poop!

Anyone else got some ideas?

Dr.
I think having a couch custom fitted in your car would like so nice. lol
Yo TI i have seats for the rear if you want them
A couch customer fitted in my car isn't what i'm looking for. . that answe falls under the answers I'm not looking for, but thanks.

Anyone with some real help ?

Dr.
You could do like this guy i seen last summer, he had no front seats. He sat in the back seat of his car to drive. He extended the steering wheel and relocated the peadels. Was kinda cool. The car was some kind of older hatch.

I don't like the Celica's stock leather seats personally. I don't know what the seventh gen. leather seats are like, but I've seen some awesome black leather Honda seats. The leather seats in the Integra GS-R and in the RSX Type-S are both awesome, and could be made to fit with some custom work. Just an idea. >wink.gif>

yeah, I almost picked up a set of seats from a 7th gen, , but for $200, not $500, thats insanely high.

My buddy can weld, so welding the 6th gen rails on another seat isn't an issue. I'll just try and find a nice set of honda one's or get them redone I guess . . .
