Refinishing these GT-S seats is going to be a challenge

Post by GamblerZ »

They are in pretty rough shape with the backing coming off and the trimming along the headrest... What success has anyone having these seats refurbished. I would like to have the stock look, but I am not opposed to using alternate materials. I plan to go to a professional upholsterer to have it done, but I want to know what I am getting myself into cost-wise.

Here are a few pics that I thought were outstanding:
