ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    This one way. Although it's more time consuming and harder it'll come out better. You could always just take the fabric off of the doors and glue some new fabric on but it'll be harder to get as clean of a look in the crease of it without putting some type of piping in it. As far as the seats go I can't help you there. I'd just buy new seats lol.

          honestly (and this is coming from a DIY-loving cheap bastard), the best way to reupholster seats without making them look like ass is to take them to a car interior specialist and have him re-do them for you. they have a TON of specialized tools and knowledge, as well as all of the practice to do it right. unless you are a master with a sewing machine, if you try it it will likely end up looking like an 8th grade home-ec project.

          alternatively, you could contact katzkins like TypeG and some other members have done and order the seat-skins you want and install them yourself.
