Well, worse case, if you can not return, get some darker green dye maybe and try to darken them up?

Here's your pattern, you have a bench, right?
74-76 Hardtop Bench Seat Covers
The picture is a generic "Ginger" interior. Same for all colors they list. So try this. Call up to Dearborn (800-252-7427) and ask them if their "Ivy Green" is the same as your code CR "Medium Green" that your interior is. They should be able to e-mail you a photo or send you a sample to match. Edited by occupant - 10-March-2010 at 5:15PM |

How much was the cover from JC Whitney? Since the Dearborn cover is over $300, would it be cheaper ( in total) to get the back seat cover from Whitney to match the front you already have? Don't forget the $40 shipping to return the one you have, plus there's probably shipping on the Dearborn cover.

The color didn't match the panel, it's a way to clear.

Any chance maybe a local upholstery shop can just make new covers, front and back, for ya a lil bit less expensive??? I think $300 per seat (front/back) is a lil bit steep.
Just thumbing through Ebay, but these guy are offering this deal, front and back.
I think a local shop can still beat em'....Good luck finding a happy medium. Edited by gpd294 - 12-March-2010 at 12:12AM |

SMS Has the correct fabrics for your car. They had both the original material and vinyl in the right color for mine. It was a bit expensive, but they sent samples quickly and it was a perfect match. They are supposed to be actual original fabric they bought up from dealerships and such a long time ago. Since you have only vinyl, you'll probably have more options, but I needed the fabric too. Ask for price and a sample, can't hurt. http://www.smsautofabrics.com/
Here's my front seats redone (without the middle fold down installed yet). I bought the fabric through SMS and I had to hire someone local to sew them up. the backs are original. Edited by Uante - 11-March-2010 at 11:50PM |

thanks for the link Uante. I've been to an upholstery shop today, specialize in car. He told me around 400E just for the front, btw, your interior is really nice
about the ebay link, i think it's just some covers from jcw, or the same fabrics, they have the same design and choice of colors.

That's awesome, Uante, I ordered a blue vinyl sample to match it up to the color of my interior and the grain of the wagon's seat. If it's perfect then I won't settle for less from any supplier. Free samples are awesome and I'll post pics when they arrive. If I can order a few yards from them and have my seats re-foamed and then have this stuff stitched in, that would be awesome!
