SWEET

back matches the front... gn color scheme on lear buckets, stock backseat

They look very nice! One question though: Why did you reverse the colors? Centers are supposed to be charcoal grey and the outside was the lite grey. At least on every set of Lear buckets I've seen.

I acutally said wow out loud!!

I like the reverse pattern.

Very cool.

its not real leather (GASP!)

she can get real leather if you want, ut it wont be cheap.

~$300 for the set of seats

i reversed it because.. i like to be different i liked the GN seat color pattern and thought itd look good in my car, came out pretty well, the grays dont exaactly match but, no one cares

and on T's.. the outside is light (sand?) grey and the leather inserts are dark GREEN/GRAY which matches the dash, but, atleast to me, isnt a very appealing color..

here is what i posted in the lounge, since i posted these pics twice cause some of you guys might not see em if they were in the lounge.

here is her contact info, make sure when you call you mention nick, the guy with the black and grey buick seats , cause she asked me to get her some business if i could, i figure if yall liked em youd ask, so here it is:

Karan;s Automotive Upholstery
15812 So. 2nd
Scurry, TX 75158
903 498 5034

since she lives in BFE, most of her work is done on boats and stuff. she did work for seatco for like 9 years so shes got experience.... i dunno how much she'd charge for you guys, so dont quote me when you call her, but id expect $250-$300 for all the seats. door panels re $20 a set and visors are $20 a set...

the only problem i had is the backseat has a gap right at the seatback now, i guess maybe the frame got bent a little and now im gonna have to bend it back, and on the door panels, she didnt know what i was going to do with hthem, so she just took all the trim off, sewed the material on, and didnt put it back on, so theyre kind of a do it yourself project. otherwise, everythings fine.

It's not a GN vs T type thing. The GN used the same pattern until 1985 when they went without the Lear's. In other words, 82 and 84 GN's have the light cloth outside with dark leather inserts.

Fresh '82 seats covers are actually bright silver and black. Most fade to a light and dark gray.

when i said GN seat, i meant the NON lear GN seat, the one in the ~30,000 gn's made from 85-87
