You can let him know I referred you. Tell him I'm the guy with the red Sunfire he did at Marvin Starr.

He did my seats and does excellent work!



I know a guy who does upholstery. He did a great job on my Sunfire. For leather I think you're looking at around $1500 or probably $1100 or so for Vinyl. If you're interested, I'll try to dig up the number.


go on ebay go to community and type in the user id

If you're in North Scarborough (Markham/Finch) you can try Elson at Innovative Auto Interiors. 2200 Markham Rd., Unit 14. (416) 754-0061. I used him a few years back to repair a seat. Apparently a lot of dealerships use him in Scarborough. Great guy, fast and affordable. Hope this helps out.

I know some people think its a little quirky, but I love that Sti interior!...Anyways you should contact McGuyver, his interior looks awesome and he did the install himself.

Reminds me of the Protege Speed seats. They were the same style with yellow stitching.
