Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

Pillow top seats...

I'm going to an upholstery shop on Tuesday, but in the meantime, I've heard that it's VERY expensive to reupholster an 83 Eldo pillow top seat. Any ideas on this? How about if I use vinyl?

I had such seats redone several years ago, and don't remember it costing that much more.  They were seats out of a late-70's Oldsmobile I was putting into our 83 Impala (I was adding 60/40 power front seats).  They were cloth covered, but I'm not sure that made much difference.  I seem to remember paying around $400 for front and rear recover back in the late 80's.
