    Hi everyone, any one have a lead on a stock seatcover with the houndstooth insert. All I can seem to find is the Eklers all vinyl covers. Thanks for any input

    Just out of curiosity, what would my cost be to redo my bench's broadcloth, and dye the armrests I got from andrewok1 to the proper blue? Please PM me if you have any questions or need photos.

    If you can send me some pics of your seat that would be great ,.
    You can order the dye to dye your armrest, Need to know what color blue.

    I have my sticker photographed on my laptop with the interior code...somewhere...but it's the dark blue. It's the L-3788 for the vinyl.
