i was thinking you may have had it done in black and yellow accents in the center sections. but i guessed wrong. i am thinking that price is out of line.

Hey Fordman, thanks for replying!
I see your point! Yeah it was a lot to spend, but I love the results. Maybe if I'd had more time to investigate alternatives I could have found a better way, but at the time, I was working a super demanding software engineering job with long hours. Looking back, I'm amazed that I managed to make progress on this at all! I don't think I slept much.
Thanks again Fordman!

Hey Brandon, thanks! Do you happen to have a photo of your seat on here? I'd be curious to see how that looks, with the outside edges that yellow.
Thanks Brandon!

Looks like they did awesome work!
One of the big things I like about a "mono-color" smooth cover like you've done, is that down the road it can be easily modified.
For instance, after a few years if you tire of it, you could go back in and have them sew on a checkerboard panel, across the top and bottom edge, or down the center. Or they could add a differnt color insert pair with pleats or something.
Doing it the way you did, leaves lots of options, if you decide to make a change down the road.
I'll bet it's really comfortable.
Pretty cool amigo!

Here's a couple Robroy. The vinyl is starting to crack but it was all done for my high school graduation present in 1988. For the most part its holding up pretty well.
