New Leather Seat Covers are ON!!!
Just got them back from the upholstery shop. I had them install the covers, fix the padding and a broken back rail of the upright frame.
The covers are from Interior Innovations, a vendor here. Very pleased!!!
Cell phone shots but you get the idea.
Waiting for the center console cover and gear selector **** and then it's DONE!

They look awesome! I'm upgrading my stock coupe seats to the sport seats next month. Using this as a birthday present so need to wait for the covers. I love the appearance.

Looks great!
I am considering doing the same thing with ordering from Interior Innovations as well. Are your covers synthetic or real leather?
Just from some of the posts I've read here it appears that synthetic is actually better than the OEM covers...

It wouldn't take much to be better than OEM. Mine were in decent shape, but when I removed them they were very stiff. My new leather covers are great, nice and soft, very comfortable and make the car smell new. Use new foam when you do them to get the most out of them, leather or synthetic.

Looks really nice. Good job with the colors. I just sent them an email about a new console cover with some purple stitching since you had a good experience with them. Thanks for the review.

What did the shop charge for the job? I got new foam from Corvette America, hog ring pliers from Amazon and tackled it myself. Hardest part was realigning the plastic trim with the holes in the frame when reattaching. I stretched the covers over the new foam, let sit in warm house overnight and then finished stretching and pulling the following day.
