Would it be sacrilege....

[Beast_TR]

To have the interior of a GN done in leather? I have been kicking the idea around and searching and asking around local upholstery shops the factory material is not easy to come by so going for as close to a stock interior is not looking likely. I also think that Buick kinda dropped the ball by not having leather as an option in the car in the first place, I mean common it was Buick's Vette killer and being a luxury brand it should of had some luxury items available.

If I did go through with it though the seats would be identical with the two-tone and power six in the headrest so it won't be like I am changing much. I just think it would look nice, be comfortable to drive in, and hold up better than the fabric and if something does spill on it then it would clean up better. So what are the thoughts of the Buick crowd?

Anything would be better lookin than stock in my opinion. I am going with the 84 gn leather seats.

many have done this .. years ago. didn't look bad to me.

Like Grumpy says...

This is my favorite leather look.... scroll down to the pics of the interior. Magic stuff done there and there are pics of the GN lookalike JaX kits elsewhere on the board - you may need to spend some time looking ... anyway check this JaX kit.....

Turbo Regal Leather Kits | Jax Seat Cover
I've seen the GN style one. It looked factory. If you want it, do it.

Hey! I'm big on sacrilege ... go for it, in fact, be different. Get all black instead of two tone.

 

[Rafs-T-Type]

I've seen the jax 2-tone a couple times and they look awesome

 

[Beast_TR]

Guess I do need to look around more haha! That is exactly what I am looking for!

Red Regal T, I would, but I think the two tone is what makes the interior on these cars.

I have a jax leather kit all seats 2 headrest and door panels brand new in box for $800 if interested.

Your car, your choice! F everyone else!

I think the idea of leather is awesome!

 

[Rodney87GN]

Do it! Someday I would love to do the leather interior in mine.

A good friend of mine did interior in her dads airplane. She used ultra leather. This stuff was soft as a babys bottom and more durable that regular leather. I wish I could get my limited seats made with that stuff. That jax kit looks nice.The two tone only. The all gray does not look right.But thats my opinion.

 

[Red Regal T]

I like my leather interior much better ... but that's just MY opinion. :biggrin:

:biggrin: Those seats are out of a Buick Park Avenue. My pristine, but uncomfortable, two-tone GN seats are sitting on a shelf taking up space. I'm thinking about selling the set, both power fronts, for around the price of leather seat covers, but don't feel like unpacking them and shooting photos.

If you decide to let them go let me know!

 

[Beast_TR]

I bet those seats are like sitting in a lazy boy recliner, add some seat warmers and I bet you could go for miles in those things!

I have been seriously thinking about letting them go, for $850, to my way of thinking, a complete setup with both seats power, for the price of seat covers, but I've been really busy with my El Camino turbo V-6 conversion. They're pretty nice, as I recall. I haven't seen them in years. They're all wrapped up and stored in a loft of sorts, so taking them down to take photos will be a pain, but I can be coaxed. :biggrin:

I really only need to re cover fronts back seat is new. But if yours are really nice i will take them. I bought leather kit and it is very nice but i want to keep it original.

Im gonna try the leather kits from Jaxs also. Hopefully I wont get raped at the resto shop and I come in under budget! If im not mistaken they are running a special where you get the leather kit along with the headliner and carpet for 975.00
