Padgett Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 What years and what other car lines used these seats please. Upholstery shop just said $1500 to recover my front buckets and that is not in the cards. Mine are beige/tan but can be recolored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgrandprix Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Basically any 88-93 grand prix with the high level buckets, best of luck 1st gen gp are getting hard to come by Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Are they damaged or are you just wanting a color change? It's not that common to find our seats in good shape in junkyards these days. I have yet to find a tan leather bucket that was worth using as-is in the last few years I have casually been looking at multiple yards. I rarely see tan interior grand prix's at all. I plan to recover at least one of my seats myself later this year when I get around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would help me at the very least because I want to do the same thing but to my Z34 and my G20. So it would be a nice thing to have here if anyone else wants to as well.

Padgett Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Since I was told $1500 for the two front buckets I need other options. Thinking about sheepskin seat covers, used before on a Reatta but that seat does not have as many contours as this one. Sent an e-Mail to Katzkin but their catalogue only goes back to '94 and think 88-93 is different. Good thing is cars do not rust here, bad thing is heat takes a toll on interiors and rubber if not garaged.

digitaloutsider Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 That's honestly one of the better looking AQ9s I've seen. I highly doubt anyone would have anything better laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I can check the one I have at home and see if it's in decent shape, but I cut out all the electronics underneath. If the skins in decent shape I might sell it for cheap. Otherwise, that one's not bad at all other than that little tear. Lexol it up and call it a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbeat1991 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 $1500 for both isn't bad. I've seen $1200 for one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) OK Lexol is a cleaner conditioner. Is there a decent repair kit available to fill and seal the cracks/tear ? Last time I did one (thutty yar ago) was a '67 Caddy and there was a company that had a specific kit for the year/model/color. ps the leather in both my 88 and 90 Reattae is much nicer. Buick owner's butts are softer ? Edited February 28, 2016 by Padgett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
