    Did LDO bucket seats come from the factory in any colors other than TAN?

    Thanks guys. Next question -

    Does any body make OEM style vinyl seat covers in the different factory colors?

    Has anybody had any success in dying the vinyl LDO bucket seats to change the color?

    For Mavericks?

    The only person that might make them would be Fred, who makes the other Maverick seat covers, but any decent upholstery guy can re do them. Why not get something a little more comfortable, and just use the LDO tracks...I may just have some seats. :D

    yes

    They can and will make them for ANY seat, I send approximately 3-4 cars a month to the local installer here for everything from adding leather, heated leather, heated clothe, color changes, etc. No they won't have the Maverick covers sitting on the shelf but they can make them, I have sent cars that they had never sold a cover on before ever! It took them a little longer than if it was in stock but it can be done!

    Now the $$$$ may be a bit of a choker but you get what you pay for..........
