I recently restored my 93' LE Miata's seats, so I made a video of the process. I hope this video can help anyone who may be considering such an endeavor but is weary of upholstery type projects. I had zero prior experience with this kind of stuff but I'm very satisfied with my outcome! Don't be scared to try something you've never done. And I did it all for under $300! That's less than the cost of most cheap eBay racing seats, and way cooler! If you have any questions or need any help with a seat restoration project of your own feel free to comment or message me. Thank you for watching and have a great day.
www.interior-innovations.com
I got my new (faux leather) seat skins from these guys for $225 usd shipped! Add in the price of a few materials and tools I purchased for this project and I'm still well under $300.
Here's my price breakdown:
Replacement seat skins $200
Shipping cost on seat skins $25
2 yards 1/2" poly foam $25
Spray adhesive $8
Metal snips $5
Revolving leather punch $5
Eyelet pliers with 100 eyelets $5
Large container of zipties $5
1 yard nylon mesh fabric $2
Super glue $3
Large embroidery needle $1
3 gallons distilled white vinegar $6
Change found under seats/carpet -$2.46
Total cost: $279.54
I had all of the other tools/materials on hand, but they are all pretty common items

They came out amazing! I just ordered the same seat cover replacements but in black. I saw another video where the guy gave up because they were too loose and wrinkly and I started to think about adding in foam to make it more fitted and for more comfort. I'm really glad I ran across your video because I'm now confident it can be done with materials I already have. Your instructions are WAY more clear than the ones given by the supplier. I hope you won't mind if I post your tutorial on the miata forums I frequent, you've got my sub and you'll be getting MANY more. You deserve it! Keep up the good work!

But when I look up videos on seats it's always bucket seats or racing seats or stuff like that. This was literally smarter than me I didn't even know you could buy replacement leather and just have basically OEM seats!!!!! For the record 16:30 THAT BOOTY!

Thanks for posting this! I just finished redoing my seats in my 95 and this was very helpful. The addition of the rivets is CRUCIAL imo to reinforce the attachment points underneath. Without them the vinyl will rip. I was also worried the zip ties wouldn't be strong enough but they seem good and allow for cinching unlike the hog ring tool. I doubled up on spots I thought would see a lot of tension. I also added a lot of foam to my bolsters but not the bottom since I'm 6"4". My seat covers were only $100 for the pair and look good but with that low price, you end up spending more time to get them on right, adding rivets etc. It took me about 16-18hrs in total from start to finish. I also added heating pads to the back and butt of both seats ($35/seat ebay kit)

Wow your video and the steps you included were so good! Would definately be worth paying something for! I could not have done this without your video and/or it would not have turned out so good. About the only step I didn't do was the covering of the bottom of the seat; other than that I did everything just as you outlined. As one or two other people mentoned, I do wonder what the life expectancy will be of the plastic wire ties but also can not image trying to get hog rings down into some of the places; I think would be really really hard to do. If they would fail; I would just redo that part and I think I would still use wire ties to bring the points together; that might make hog rings possible. Thanks again!!!

I actually did do the upper bolsters too, but I don't think it's apparent in the video. You can see where I did the upper center piece and the headrest piece, but I had some lost video footage of putting the foam on the upper bolsters. I put a single layer on the front of the bolsters but it wasn't wrapped around the sides or back. Basically from the inside of the bolster to where the first edge seam is

Great job, but I think the zip ties will break with time. Hog rings are what they use in car seats because there metal and they will last. They might even be stainless steal or something. One time I bought some large zip ties from home depot and they were brittle right when I opened them up, they broke right away as I tried to use them the whole batch was the same, I dont know if they were old sitting on the shelf forever or just bad plastic to begin with.

Did the seats come perforated for the speakers or is that the $100 "genuine leather perforation option"?

Hmm, my skins had the headrest perforated for the speakers, but I definitely didn't pay a $100 charge for it. It was a few years ago now that I ordered mine, I think I remember choosing an option to have them perforated but if I recall correctly it was free, since my skins were $225 shipped

Actually I just looked at their site, I think the $100 charge is for perforated leather inserts
