Has anyone had experience with Apsis seat covers I called and they said stock look covers would be $1998.00 but they use Nappa leather not the coated leather that is in all the domestic cars nowdays, the Nappa leather is available in all the high end exotics, does not wrinkle.

Not for certain but I believe they are no longer a business! I tried to place a order about a month ago by phone. The number was no longer in service. So I checked on the big auction site and they no longer had a ebay store either.... I think I am going to give DJ Motorsports cover a try!!

looking at the ebay store for oaktree, it says that his father had a heart attack and he removed the stuff from the store as of 4-18. i assume he had to take care of his family. hopefully his dad got better.

I just did mine from DJ Motorsports. See my two threads on the experience. Great seat skins, great price, but not so much on the customer service.
The tan leather is a little bit lighter than the OEM Light Oak. Only an issue where it meets up with leather that is the OEM shade, such as on the console cover I already had in the car or where the shifter boot meets up with the two-tone shift **** I put on (not in the pics).

Got my covers and the console cover as a package deal from Interior Innovations. Synthetic with genuine perf leather butt/back.
Are they as nice as VE? Of course not. But...from my point of view the part under my legs will not wrinkle, the maintenance will be much less, and most people will not know the difference anyways.
The covers and the console cover were a package deal for $400.00. Installed them myself.
I most definitely can appreciate those that go for real leather. It just wasn't in my pocketbook...and I'm more than satisifed with the results.
Not bad for $400 IMHO...
Wow...didn't realize this was such an old thread...

I bought my leather and foam from Corvette Mods but the leather actually came from Performance Choice made by Mid America Motorworks and foam was shipped directly from Corvette Central. Don't understand how Corvette Mods could be so much cheaper than the company who made them but I guess that's the online shopping world?
