I don't think the quality is going to vary much, if at all, from the major retailers like MAM or CC, or Vette essentials etc. Some of them just offer different styling choices. But it's expensive.

The order I would look at is Vette Essentials, Mid America and then Corvette central. Ecklers also sells them. Couple other places here but I can't recall them at this time.
Vette Essentials I believe is the most expensive but I think they offer some real nice styling choices.

I have Vette Essentials seat skins. Superb quality -- nearly infinite color combos (totally custom) -- 100% leather (not just butt and back like factory). But they ain't cheap at $2,000 per pair. But best mod on my car by far.
This is a Vette Essentials pic, but my 2004 silver coupe looks just like this:

I would check out leatherseats.com italian extacy leather. They sent me samples of their regular and the extacy is smooth and soft as butter. I was gonna go with seat covers but now im looking at corbeau leather seats (already covered, better design, price is about the same)

A forum member DJ Motorsports has pretty good ones . From the look of what others have put in they look just as nice, at least in the pictures. My set was around 650.00

Made a post in your other thread on this topic. I have the Vette Essentials seat covers and they are awesome. If you have the money and want a superb set of seat covers, they are the ones.
DJ Motorsports offers a nice set of covers for a lot less if you don't want to spend $2K for the covers.

Oaktree Vette's are much cheaper. Vette Essentials are $2,000 per pair. I had to save my nickels and dimes for a couple of years. There are other vendors whose seat skins look very much like VE's, but cost less.

I also have seat covers from them. Excellent fit and quality at literally half the cost of the big names. This is their website: www.c5seats.com I got mien a few years ago at Carlisle. It was the first time that they made two-tone covers in oak & torch red. PM me with an email address and i can send pics.
