I had the rear seat back on my E30 Cab redone by Pacific Auto Trim on W. 5th in Vancouver. PM me if you would be interested in a review of their work.
I too am thinking about buying the seat kits to re-trim the front and rear seats on my E24.........

Re: New front Seat Leather Sport seat install
So I got the seats so far and decided I'd take them to a local place to have the leather covers from the EBAY Zoom Zoom guy put on.
Local guy quoted me 4-5hrs @ $60/hr to put the leather on the seat frames and cover the backs,
soo.....
I pick them up Friday will get pictures then.
Before...
Kit from Ebay... All leather, no vinyl sides....

Re: New front Seat Leather Sport seat install
So I am happy with the results....Not perfect but the cover are good, I think my frames are need a little adjustment.
All said and done the Total to have my manual e24 seats redone in all Leather....
was $950 + $35 shipping for the leather covers + (6hrs @ $60=$360) = $1345 Total

Re: New front Seat Leather Sport seat install
I have seen the zoomzooming guy on ebay. Is the leather a pretty good match for the existing pearl beige? Seats look good. Thats going to make a big difference for your interior.

Brick,
Before you get to far into the recover, I recommend examining all of the frame for broken welds.
I had 3 on my drivers seat, and the car only had 68,000 miles.

Too late, but the one seat was fixed with a welded bar as noted by the Upholstery shop.
This was Natural Color Leather not Pearl Beige. They have pearl Beige though.
