Seat covers & foam??
I'm wanting to replace the red/black seat covers & foam in my C5. I found some at Ecklers & was wondering if anybody has tried these & how good do they hold up. Or if you know a place that has "good" leather seat covers & foam. Thanks for any info.

What is your budget? Some moderately priced covers that have been getting good reviews here on the forum are the ones from Interior Innovations.
If you want a top quality set of seat covers and good seat foam, look at the offerings from Vette Essentials.

Thanks Vettman Jack!! I want a really good long lasting set & will pay the price to get them. I'll check Vette Essentials website tonight.

Received mine from interior innovations today. They look and feel amazing. I couldn't justify the cost of the higher priced covers even though I'm sure they're nice. For the price I paid, I don't they can be beat.

Foam from Vette Essentials and covers from DJ Motorsports. VE covers are some of the best around, but also cost 2 - 3 times as much and I just couldn't justify the cost. I am very happy with what I have.

I bought my foam from Mid-America but through VetteWorks Intl. VetteWorks discounts Mid-America and some other catalogs.

Full-leather seat covers from Interior Innovations. Very high quality for a very reasonable price.

Make sure you protect that new foam I added some info here about what I had found on my car that only has 8,000 miles.

I replaced mine 5-6 years ago, but I used leatherseats.com skins. I got the foam from Vette Essentials. A lot of the other leather in my car is from VE and their stuff is outstanding, but I couldn't justify that much money for the seats. I'm happy with the quality of the seat skins I got. I used burlap on the seat springs to keep them from poking through the skin and riveted on one of the broken wings. I also tried to cover the sharp edges on the seat to keep it from wearing through anything in the future. The job is not perfect, but nobody except for me notices...
