Just my opinion Bob but go for a more permenant fix. Either GM replacement skins or call Vette Essentials for some custom seats.

I agree with the permanent fix. My 97 seats were split and worn thru so I went with Al Knoch Interiors for exact replacement covers. Color is exact and the price was $260 less than mid amer. not too hard to put on even for a rookie.[IMG][/IMG]

If you can afford it, get the Vette Essentials covers. If not, I have seen the Wet Okoles and they look very nice in the car. Seems to fit very well.

There are other alternatives to spending thousands on your interior.

It is difficult to find a decent fitting pair of seat covers to protect our nice leather seats without looking like a pair of loosely fitting socks. But, the Okoles seem to work for some enthusiasts. Good luck to you.

You might watch C5 Parts for some good used covers. I've seen several used sets sold there, including mine.
