My front seats in the e36 are in rough shape. Who can reupholster(sp?) the seats for a decent price? Id rather not buy new ones, but I will if its too much money.  
Thanks

i’m taking a complete shot in the dark here, but you might want to try that shoe repair shop in e.a. on main, across from the police station. they do general leather repair, i know of a guy who had his leather motorcycle race suit repaired there. it can’t hurt to call or stop in. i am assuming these are leather seats btw.

John, go to Moser’s. On Hinman, near Elmwood. They’re outstanding.

doing yourself isn’t really that hard. You can buy some nice leather, already sewn together, just pull it over the foam, and fasten. Takes time to get it right, but looks awesome in the end. I did this on a past car and it looked HOT.

just buy a set of vadars off of BF.c or M3forumds, they are up all the time and usually a decent price if they are not new

not sure what vadars are but I was going to mention the same thing. hop on a bimmer forum and try to find a used set out of an e36. If you do re-upholster yourself post up a DIY!
