Anybody ever think about using this gel insert? I trashed my memory foam idea cause that would just be to soft. Think I may have this done when I get my 85-86 seat covered.. Buckeye if I get that gel cover and stuff is your dad still into doing these seats? Also once I get my quad mostly together can someone make a cool design for my seat?

If you're interested in a custom seat cover shoot me a pm my dad has been doing custom upholstery work for 30+ years I'm biased of course but in the industry people see his work and are always wowed. He does custom limo and hearse interiors for a day job so this is side work for him but pm me and we can chat about ideas of what you want done and what the cost would be. We have almost zero overhead so we should be priced well below most plus we're not Cali based so our cost is a lot cheaper than all that inflated bs you west coast guys are faced with.

I bought 2 from hc camp on eBay a few years ago. They seemed a little thin but they are tough. The seems are holding up great and no rips yet. That includes a few rolls down some hills,and makin trails through the thick woods. I would def buy from them again.

Reading through this thread and seeing some of the custom seats pictured within it makes me really happy my dad is an upoholsterer and has been doing custom seats and furniture for going on 3 decades now. I'm quite positive ill have one of the sickest Zilla seats there is and it won't cost me a thing but materials. Good thing too cause the 87 I just bought needs a new seat cover waiting to decide on a color scheme before I turn dad loose on the design of the pattern.

This guy I met on es2 had a repro 92 250 camo seat done by cosmic quads and it looked real good only thing was the green in the camo was a bit off but other then that it was sweet. I contacted them and they said for just the camo cover it would be $95 shipped I believe. I know it was under $100. Fx I think it was the guy that bought your old 92 he said he's from New York and that the guy he bought it from was on the old site. It looks like your old one.

Glamis, someone had one on the other site that one is sweeeeeet!! Cool design. Im going to look into one of those

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.

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

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

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....

Post by: RacerDonnie13 on October 04, 2012, 06:53:49 pm
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.

My neighbor owns an upholstery shop. He runs it out of his garage so stuff is much cheaper than your normal shop. Heres 2 seats he did for me.
