'84 GN Lear Seat Upholstery questions

[HotAir6 v.2.0]

It's time to freshen up the front seats, the rear seats are fine so I'm only going to do the fronts at this time. I've got some fabric with heavy wear and a couple of tears in the driver's seat leather. My car is by no means a show quality restoration vehicle but I love those seats and really want them to look factory. We bought the car new so I remember how nice they are. After 30 years and over 100k of driving time they are in need of some new life.

So my options are go to SMS and get the correct fabrics and have an upholstery shop do the work
OR
Buy a pre-stiched set from a place like Highway Stars.

- If anyone has experience with the pre-stitched sets I'd like to hear what you've got for advice.
- If anyone knows of a solid upholstery shop in the NW US (WA, OR, ID) I'd like to get a few shops to call and get some guidance.

got my covers from mikes montes when they first came out, got the second set.

p.u.i is the company that is remaking these seat covers. back then it was 700.00 for the front seats and 1300.00 for the rear.

use the old foam inserts as the new ones were to thin

recovered them myself , have to buy hog rings and the pliers got mine from eastwood.
