Agreed it's been forever, it was only supposed to be two, thankfully the guy does good work and I won't have to do this again!

I did get the reflectors earlier this week, thanks for that. With the magnets that solves my front and rear side inspection problems, now I just need to figure out the rear ward reflector, since I put a side mount plate on, Hawaii says it has to be centered, or equally spaced on either side...

Super nice guy, highly talented. A whole wall of material to choose from and books of other materials to order. Check them out on Yelp too their rep is solid.
Thanks for the information! That's only 40 miles from me.

Yeah 2-2.5 for a rework with a new simple cover. Add 50-100 for a complete refoam or a complicated recover. And then if you choose exotic materials it's all on material costs

Oh and upholsterers generally don't rework seat pans, so if that's something you need or want, you'LL either have to do it yourself or take it to a fabricator

Picked up my seats tonight, I'll post pictures tomorrow in the daylight. My wife is ecstatic about her new creation/seat, and mine is pretty good, only had one short ride, but I think it may need a tweak or two....

So here's the pictures, haven't riden yet without the passenger pad, that's today. And haven't had my wife ride yet, just an initial sit from her. But she seems very happy and I think mine might need a tweak or two, we'll see...

Cool- I don't think you'll be disappointed at all in their workmanship or prices. Believe me I hate most all upholstery shops for seat work, a good one is so tough to find. If you go there ask for Andre (he runs the shop) and tell him Kurt referred you.
