Is there any certain fabric you'd recommend? I havent decided if I wanna go with vinyl or not, since the rest of my truck is staying fabric (headliner, OHC, etc).

Thanks! The truck has manual D/P's right now. The ones that are in the pic. But I've done more than several of the style that you have.
Those seats in my truck had a bit of a redesign, which required a different method of covering them than stock. I had to sew the grey & the red separately, then stitch them together, lining the pattern up. It's off slightly at the driver side outside edge where the two colors come together, separated by the dk. grey piping. I wanted the seat colors to be separate all the way around the sides. The factory style is sewn up a bit different. It was a lot of work for an effect that most wouldn't even realize that it's been modded.
With the time spent on the redesigning, rebuilding of all the electric motors & switches, plus the console recover (it's wrapped, not dyed) I have about 40 hours into the whole job. The console took 12 hours alone.
Without the redesign, & the console covering, you'd be in the 20-24 hour range.
