Has anyone taken the time to have the seats reupholstered? Are there any drop in options that offer an OEM feel aside from Supra seats? And, ditching the back seats is not a REAL option. They fold down for extra truck space and the weight savings is not really that big.

I ran across these pics of someone having redone their interior and I have to say that I like it. Of course, I don't think anything like that here in West Texas is going to come cheap. I might be better off taking it to Dallas, San Antonio or Houston on my next trip.

I am looking to have my GT-S seats done very similar to these, but I don't know what others have done.

The vinyl material really appealed to me as well. The "suede" didn't look quite right to me. I probably would go with a high tech fabric mesh.
