Who is Making Custom Seat Covers for the LT500
« on: October 04, 2012, 04:19:19 pm »
Needing to finish the other Zilla Seat, Cascade prices went nuts on doing the checkered theme, Verde Power Sports wont answer the phone or E mails, Is there some one doing them that we could get them on the site?
You would think in these time they be looking for any new business.

http://www.atvseatcovers.com/ <--wont return phone calls or Emails
http://www.cascadeinnovations.net/store_index.cfm?STORE_AREA_ID=66 <-Good Product aint cheap but very well made, custom pricing is out the window in pricing, my checked blue and white seat with extra padding was $225.00 now same seat $425.00.
http://www.verdepowersports.com/<--wont return phone calls or Emails even on Facebook.

It really depends on what you want. The one on my zilla probably in the $250 or so range (Dont quote me on price). Its higher because of the checkers. They dont make a checker material so all those squares are seperate and sewn together. He had about 6 hrs in that seat, upholstery work is harder than most people think.

Never had one done by them, but I contacted cosmicquads about doing a repro. 92 camo seat.... I never followed through on it, but she said they could do it.... A lot of the Honda guys use her for OEM correct covers....

Seen them before, the yellow seems off, maybe due to lighting, need to see it on a Zilla!

I was going to look into Jettrim, they have a rep for extremely high quality & there prices are inline or less than some of the prices mentioned above.

http://www.jettrim.com/

Do they do LT500 Seats??

i'd stay away from verde seat covers.  had a few bad experiences with there seats.  those fancy plastic looking ones do not last.  also alittle cheap on extra material to staple to.

Slowzilla I have one of those covers on my Zilla the color is off and it bugs the sh*t out of me! Other than that it's decent not like a custom by far but I've had mine on for 4-5 yrs and it hasn't tore or worn a hole

Slow I put one of the cheap eBay covers on.  The material is a bit thin, and the stiching sucks, SUCKS.

JB Sport trim, talk to Jennifer she has the layout for the LT500 and does a kick ass job and they last.  Double stitched and super good vinyl.

And has her own ebay store:

That is a custom design I did myself and she made for me. 

She has the template for this one and one other one that Dave in Michigan designed, so she has a total of 2 designs for the 500.

Feel free to use the designs we came up with and she has lots of material to change in & out colors.
