Does any manufactuer make reproduction tan leather to redo seats for the TGP?

Repro seats that look like ours? No, none.

Yes, there is leather out there that looks like ours...but there are no premade/preshaped skins to redo our seats with that I know of. I know a few people that have had their seats redone by various upholstery shops. Getting them recovered is not cheap...

If you want new leather seats and don't care about the power bolsters you could go with Mr. Mikes leather seats, he makes leather seat kits for Fiero seats, I'm sure the seat track would bolt up to a fiero seat frame. Or you could get some fiero seats put the Mr. Mikes leather kit on them then use the power seat track from say a mid 90's N body.....I'm pretty sure that might work.

I forget the name of the shop, but there's a place in Atlanta, GA that recovers seats and does other custom interior work. Custom tailored replacement leather coverings are like $750+ for popular cars("katskin", etc.)....so expect to dish out a good bit of money to have even one seat recovered at a shop. :icon_eek:

So basically we would be doubling the value of a TGP ;)

No. $750 in leather material for DIY custom tailored "covers" that change the appearance of the stock seats. They're available for Mustangs, and most other popular/newer cars. If I go anywhere near the local upholstery shops, I might stop by for a quote. I basically need the driver's seat recovered on my car anyways...
