From Cloth ---> To Leather

Hey guys,
Envying you leather grand prix's at the moment! My 2000 Gt has cloth, and I was thinking about installing some used leather, worth it? If I leave the door panels cloth, will it look terrible? HONESTLY!:th_scratchhead:
 


my car was formerly cloth, the guy who owned it before me converted it. i love the leather and mine looks better than most since it doesnt have those stupid vertical stripes on the door panels.
 
Okay, so say I'm looking at like 600 bucks for a used set, any idea how much it would cost at an upholstery shop?

Way off, you can get a nice set for $200-400 TOPS, anything more than $300 is a rip off if you ask me. I was appraised $1,100 to have a set of seats done in leather with suede inserts (with my own materials). If you want my opinion find some nice used original leather seats.
 


Mine was cloth, I will never go back....... except maybe on those 100*+ days. thats when cloth was nice.......
 
Check on ebay. Seen some on there quite a few times. If you want some sporty loking fron buckets, try and find the ones from a 04+ I believe. There's a post on here somewhere with a pic of them. I'll see if I can find it when I get home from work and post the link.
 
I used to swear I would never own a vehicle with leather seats. When I first looked at the GTP this was sort of a turn off for me, but there were no other GTP's around so I decided to give it a try.

Now, I am of the opinion having owned a car with leather seats, that I will never own another car without leather seats, particularly heated leather seats.
 


I had bought a set once just like the ones in my current car for $200 (got lucky though) usually around $400 though.
 
worth it for sure man!!! i am currently in the process of converting from cloth to leather. I was gonna go with regular seats but after seeing lowlyfrgtp and a few others i am gonna go with an 04+ swap. Gotta wait a bit but my buddy has an 04 gp and i just love the seats. Way better! But its your car. Thats my 2 cents!!!
 


that vinyl on the door is crap anyways, i had my windows down while it was misting and the water damaged it pretty bad.... looks real smudgy... I never realized I shouldn't do that
 
well, got my leathers yesterday!!!!! off an 03 gt. theyre black/dark grey and in seriously good condition, considering i pulled them from a scrapyard, how much you ask??? $100 for the entire set, and yes I now have a power drivers seat, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! i love when i can rip off junkyards!!!

well if the junkyards charged too much for things, no one would go to them, they wouldn't have a sufficient business
