at home seat covers
So the seat covers that lmc sells are they worth it? good quality? I am going to be getting a set of 73' buckets for my blazer. They need redone though there all ripped up. So i was looking at the black velour covers in lmc. Would you guys recomend them? or should i just take them to a local upholstry shop and have some made and installed?
Also if i do the at home stuff, where can i find a new cover for a 3rd row seat out of an 87 burb? lmc just lists the front seat?

Re: at home seat covers
I'd just make sure the foam is up to new covers. It's always to bad when someone goes to all the work of recovering and the covers end up looking "loose".

Re: at home seat covers
chevroletrestorationworld.com has seat covers for alot less than LMC. Maybe someone knows if they're the same or if the quality is different. It seems most retailers get thier restoration parts from the same source. I too was debating whether to get new covers or have my seats custom covered.

Re: at home seat covers
just letting you know that the 73 buckets are not the same as 72 buckets so the covers are different.

Re: at home seat covers
Im not looking to replicate the 72 look, just wanting to know if the stock replacements fit well or are junk

Re: at home seat covers
Got my 71's buckets and rear bench covers from GMC Pauls.They fit great.
I did the job myself(Had never reupholstered anything before). Here's a link to ALL the pic's I took while doing the job. http://public.fotki.com/blazbk/blaze...g_my_2_buck-1/ And one of the bench after it was done.
