Re: Formula Reupulstry (this may be a better place for this)
 

McLeod is the original maker of Formula upholstery, so they have the ability to match what your boat came with from the factory. I just redid my engine hatch & trunk lid with pieces they supplied, and it was about a 2 hour job for each. The material is stapled on, but before you start have an electric screwdriver handy as there are about 50 philipps head screws holding the mirrors & hatch upholstery on. Stefanie at McLeod is great to work with also....

is doing it this way the same way it would be done right at formula?

I can take pics of the skins I picked up yesterday. It won't be until later though. It would appear that you would remove the existing panels, in my case the trunk, sunpad, individual headrests, etc, pull the staples out that hold the original skin over the board/foam, and replace with the new skin. The plus to this, as COBarry says, is that it is the original quality vinyl, matching colors, precision stitching, and I'm guessing a fraction of the price of having someone try to duplicate the patterns. As someone else stated, it's probably much cheaper than getting it from Formula too.

Their customer service is awesome. My first call was late and the owner answered and we bs'ed about boats (he also had a 336 a while back). Stephanie was great to work with through the whole process.

I also thought it was cool that the receptionist at their shop had a new bolster on wheels as her office chair.

Got them from a previous job, thanks.

Ok, here's the sunpad and rear trunk skins and a shot with one of the 4 headrests. The sunpad is made with 31 separate pieces of vinyl, trunk skin has 15, each headrest has 6.
