Rear seat cover options for dimes?

What works? Mine is a 2 door and I was going to send it to get it redone but now I'm leaning towards DIY, there's a place in Springfield that has supplies for upholstery, carpeting and such, mainly I need to redo the foam padding and was thinking of throwing a seat cover over it, since my front seats are buckets with nothing special in design of the material, I'd figure I can tackle the rear seats and then look at some seat covers for it

Just grab whatever material you like, pull the seat cover off. pull all the stitching, use them as a pattern on your new material. Sew it up. Hog rings to install. Regarding the foam, I'm not sure. Probably buy a slab from the upholstery store and hot knife it to fit.

Electric bread knives are awesome for cutting upholstery foam. Covering your foam in a layer of batting acts too create a disconnect between the upholstery and the foam, and also helps add soft curve to cut edges. Make match marks on both pieces at every seam (many along each seam) then when you disassemble, transfer those marks to the new pieces. When you go to reassemble, matching the marks back up will allow you to quickly assemble all pieces in the correct orientation to one another.

I like that idea, thanks!
