I have a friend that does a lot of work on his own and recently bought a new heavy duty sewing machine (so he could re-upholster the couches in his house with some new cool stuff) and he told me I was more then welcome to use it to redo my interior if I felt the need. My 95' has no actual wear marks, but water stains from getting wet, and the top is getting old. He tells me neoprene fabric (wetsuit) material works in that even black wont get very hot in direct sun, looks great, and it's waterproof. My car hibernates in winter, so that's no problem. But I wanted to know if anyone had (or knew of) any patters for the seats or even top or anything for our cars. I know the seat covers (factory) come off pretty easy with super velcro, and I could sit down and measure the whole thing, but it wouldnt be too fun. But with how hot leather gets, that's out of the question - even the grey fabric gets hot enough to roast!

You might consider saving yourself the trouble of sewing neoprene (trust me, you'll be tearing your hair out) and get a set of Wet Okole seat covers.
