[TR] Reupholstery vrs Seat Covers

[wbeech at flash.net]

Pat,
Whether you go with seat covers or a re-upholstery job I am sure who ever
does the job can retain your old broken in feel for you.  Be sure to beef up
the worn areas and not go too firm on the foam, there are many firmness
grades available.

I got the leather covers from TRF(NFI) and had them professionally
installed, he even used tacks and no staples, they look great and are very
original to the initial comfort of the car.  My only regret is that I should
have augmented the lumbar support above what would be the original padding. 

Bottom line, get what you want and have pro do in order to get the feel that
you are looking for.

Subject: [TR] Reupholstery vrs Seat Covers

Hi List,
Has anyone opted for seat covers over reupholstery?  Are the seat cover
packages from places like Moss worthwhile?
The driver's side seat on my
TR is in need of repair.  However, I'm not sure if I should go with seat
covers or have it reupholstered....The nice thing about the seat is that
it's "broken-in" like my favorite TV/reading chair.  With an upholstery job,
I'll be sitting on a lot of new foam. 
Thank you for any advice.
