I had my entire bench seat rebuilt...springs, better padding and even had the sides and center bolstered a bit more than oem. I upgraded from the vinyl to material. The entire job took the local shop two days and cost $265.

Thanks...I am very happy with it......oh and I didn't mention...it also, has seat warmers built in as well. I sourced the carbon fiber seat warmer imserts on Amazon. I originally purchased a pair for our Polaris rzr, and decided to add them to the bench seat too.

Yeah, I can't get over how good that material looks. Worth every penny.


Thanks, the material is tweed. It holds up a long time and gets more comfortable with age. I hate vinyl, it doesn't fair to well when it's 120 degrees outside and you're junk sticks to it while driving.

Looks great, I like that material...:waytogo:


I went retro to tweed interior. Leather seems to be all the rage these days...been there...done that and learned to not use it again. Same thing with vinyl. Vinyl is inexpensive and super easy to use, but IMO vinyl is best in a boat, not in a vehicle, but that's just me.

I like Tweed, hate vinyl I got it in my Nova stuff don't breathe, it can be 20below out and you still sweat your ass off, lol, don't care for it in a boat either it's too slippery, at least in my style boat it is, lol.

Your junk shouldn't be left laying around on a vinyl seat seat anyway... it should be kept in a box...right?
