Gotta say though, that sounds like a "cbf touching this please go away" kinda quote. I'd certainly be shopping around, they can't all be that ridiculous.

Yea, that's what it sounds like.

Given the material costs and labour it'd aim for the $500 mark for quality.

If you're handy with a sewing machine you could do it for a lot less too :lol:

Actually given that, last time I saw my grandma use her sewing machine I had to re-teach her how to use it so.... :lol:

I've honestly though about it. It's not hard, get a pieced template of the seat from an existing seat cover, then cut to the individual piece templates and sew. Really not difficult to do
