cny first gen 71 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Went down tonight and roughed some stuff out just laid the carpet in place and placed the cover in place. nothing is succered yet just laid out. It all seems to fit pretty good but hopefully the carpet lays out a little better, im going to warm it up a bit and stretch it some more. Heres a couple pics. Oh yea im going to have to get some kind of cover for the seats for when the dog rides with me it showes everything, she loves riding in monte and getting ice cream.

bigtankjones Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Looks good Steve. I am going to take my seats and the covers I bought over to a local upholstery shop and see how much it will cost me to have them put on. I want my seats to look good and not look like i did it. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yea I thought about that too its still not to late, I havent put and hog rings so im still thinking about it well see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtankjones Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yeah. When I went down to the Detroit NPD dealer. I forgot to get the hog ring and pliers kit. I am going to see what my place charges and if it is to much,I will just order the kit and do it my self. Your seat covers ther kind of look like the blue ones that were in my monte. they look good.

Ian Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I did mine out in the garage, just take your time. Make sure you put the piping (I think that is what you call it) back in the edges before you hog ring it all back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtankjones Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I will prob end up doing them myself. 400.00 is a lot of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
