Mike,

Is $175 just for labor?  One of our local AROC members just replaced the
driver's bottom cushion in his Verde with Material he bought from
Prestige Imports.  It wasn't cheap, but he said the material came ready
to install, with all the proper clips and fasteners already installed. 
This allowed him to replace it himself.  Somone else recently mentioned
a Recaro dealer that was selling the material for $90 a yard.  I'd like
to know if that includes the proper hardware, or just the material.  If
it's just the matierial, it might not be such a bargain.

Ciao,

88 Verde (thankful someone repaired the seat before I bought it)
