Has anyone ever seen these in real life? If so how do they look?

You should take a look at Wet Okole seat covers. I know seat covers sound too cheap to be in a vette, but I love mine They've got the two-tone look and they fit to the shape of the seat. I have pics on my website.

How hard are new leathers to install? I am thinking of ordering them with all new foam from Al Knoch.

I already have a set, but since I have finally gotten my hands on all of the interior parts to change to black, and am repainting her too, I need to fix it right.

Thanks,
Doug

Al Knoch seems to be expensive in my opinion, any feedback on his, are they worth the premium price?

My advice is buy some used in good condition. Normally you could get a pair for under $100. They don't have to be the same color. Then get some good dye ( I can't remember the kind I used it was 3 letters, something like SAL) and dye them. They will look brand new and they will match. At least mine did.

I bought mounted seat covers from Al Knoch about a month ago.
They are high quality leather and foam.
His prices aren't that bad either.

$745 each for the 90 Sport Covers only.....no foam or anything, that is 1490 just for covers, seems a bit excessive to me

How hard was it putting the seats back together?
