Have my 07 Ram where the front seats have seen better days. Have some cheap seat covers on them now and they are starting to get a little ragged. Since I have no plans to get rid of the truck was thinking of getting the front seats re-upholstered.

Wanted to see if anyone has done? Rough estimate of cost? Better way of doing...buy new seats?

Thanks.

Nope...have not done any real research yet. I know you can buy new material/covers to replace the old ones. But, do not have the tools or knowledge to mess with it. Neighbor a few houses down does...maybe I can talk him into it...for a beer or 2...lol

Hey Ken back when I had my truck I had the interior re-done by my neighbor who does upholstery. You can have it done in high quality vinyl and its reasonably priced.

We are up here in Trenton. Here is his facebook page.

He doesnt do whole interiors too often anymore. He is the upholster for UF full time now so it takes him some time to redo an entire vehicle.

Thanks Dan...

Would not want the whole interior done...just the 2 front seats. Rest is still in good shape.

Ummh...never heard of Trenton, but looking in Maps...I have been up in that area several times RVing/camping in that area.
