So I decided to go with some of you who suggested leatherseats.com for my recent seat skin upgrade on my 07 C6 and boy am I happy I did. Nothing was wrong with my stock lt. titanium seats but I felt like if I was going to spend money on my interior the seats were a must along with the other stock vinyl items like the boots and rock hard console lid/base.
So my quest began searching for products. While searching I stumbled across a listing on that bay site and was very iffy about ordering since I knew nothing about this co. called leatherseats.com. But once I started to ask around I got great feedback from fellow members. I just wanted to post some pics and share my experience with everyone as I honestly think they are a great choice for Premium leather seats and they can design basically whatever you want or you can choose from one of their many designs they have already done for previous Corvette owners. They were extremely easy to work with and turnaround time was super quick. Service was also excellent! I wish I was in OKC where they are located I would have loved to go visit and have my seats put in right there at their shop perhaps I would have wrapped up my entire interior . If you want to make a huge change/upgrade to your interior this is the way to go! Oh and did I mention the pricing is almost 2 good to be true. Definitely not what I was use to paying for this type of mod that transforms your interior to another level.
When deciding on my skinz and other items the sales staff at LS offered different leather packages but honestly I wasn’t looking to go the cheapo route on my seats esp. to save a couple hundred bucks. I considered this a major part of my interior and wanted it to really look great. After reviewing my options I went with the Premium Ectasy leather package which is a premium leather grain and it shows. You see it and feel it instantly. A few members have asked me if you slide around or how the seats feel now. With all honesty I feel like I am sitting in a luxury vehicle with real fine leather seating minus the slipping and sliding. The car smells unbelievable too I upgraded the seats to a two toned light titanium and ebony which matches the stock door panels and rest of the interior perfectly. I also got the logos in the headrest with double stitching.
Lastly I decided to do a matching console lid, shifter and ebrake boot and both handles. The ebrake handle was totally re-wrapped and re-stitched with lt. titanium thread and the auto shifter was just re-stitched in lt. titanium thread. I did make a last minute change though. I decided at the last minute during the DSvettes sale that I wanted to complete the look with a new matching base. I thought that I would be better off with the ebony in the center and lt. titanium on the sides so I ended up changing my lid although as you can see in the pics the LS lid is really nice. So the pics of the lid with logo are the LS lid and the one without the logo is the DSV with the matching base. Sorry for the confusion.
I couldn’t be more happy with my results and the feedback I have received so far. If I missed anything let me know. But here are some pics of my end results.

Just a great look!
I have a couple of pieces from the leatherseats guys and agree, great quality, pricing and service. No complaints on my DS stuff either, but glad there's options out there.

Very nice and the color combination is great compared to the old set up.
And thanks for the write up, I've been looking around at interior parts and it's nice to hear I have some choices, good feedback is important!
