I have bog standard Black seats.

Anyone that may have purchased black lseat covers, what color did you choose for the thread?
I don't want it to look out of place.

I'm also pondering having the upholstery shop put in seat heater elements "while they are in there", and just leave wiring bundled under the seat, and I'd take care of wiring.

Odd that I am asking suspension question also.
Think I need tie rod/control arm on driver's front side.

I'm trying to stay at budget on my projects....
I'm thinking of getting major components (coffin arm, tie rod, control arm) and have shop install (to avoid the markup!). And think I'm reallly only budgeted to do one side (not the entire front).

Thoughts? (w/o flaming?).

Also, for those curious, local upholstery shop (Winter Park/Orlando FL area) has quited me $120 per side to put the covers on.

Thanks in advance.
No real comment on the seat cover question. You’re not competing in concours type events, so whatever you like is what you should do!

On the suspension components, if you need them on one side (unless we are talking about crash damage), you also need them on the other. You will have to pay for an alignment when you are done, so I would replace both sides, and do the alignment only once.

Regards,
