well here in LA we have the GHETTO! Cheap suroundings mean cheap work. Anyways here for $500-700 ypu could get custom Leather, not Vinyl. Vinyl should prolly be around $300-$500, pretty much the same as cloth!

Vinyl is plastic, which means its un pourus, and sticky when hot. Leather is some poor animals skin, which makes for great coumfortable seating, its pourus which means it alows air to flow through your seat keeping it cooler. But bad things are leather is a bit heavier (not really that much with full upholstry) and after about 10 years or so you might need new leather, it will start to crack.

Fold the seats down. For the hatchback people, that turns the back of the car into a nice area to... uhm... Ooops. That was out loud. --------------------  psalm 69 |

Quite a few people have Recaro's or Corbeau's and I don't think they cost nearly as much as Sparco's.

Also, Tenzo R Rally seats are nice too, and cheap. A couple of my friends have them in their cars, and they're very nice seats. Kind of hard to get out of the car, but they sure hold you in and are very comfortable.
