reupholstered seats
I have an '07 in Silver and I've been waiting for 8 years for that crappy Corvette leather to wear out.
So 8 years later my left seat bolster was ripping. I don't know if you ever watched the show Overhaulin' with Chip Foose but he would always take his cars to Bill Dunn upholstery in Huntington Beach.
So last week I took my baby there and had them do the seats. The results are amazing! They came out perfectly, he even matched the Corvette logo on our passenger dashboard to the headrests.
So, what do you think?

I think the top photo looks like you were going for a rainbow flag look.
Bottom photo looks all red in the inserts. Like that look.
My 07 seats look very good still.

They look like they fit very well unlike some others I've have seen. Yours are nice and tight The inserts are just enough to me, don't need all the other stuff done IMHO.
At least we do have an upholsterer here that used to do work for Boyd's, he did my El Camino, very pleased and will use him if the time arises

I think they look great! If you can hold off doing the rest of the interior, that's a big savings for you Mike. But then again, maybe.....

A lot of reupholstered seats and "seat covers" don't fit well and look like crap. Yours look better than new and probably are since he no doubt used better leather.
It's a very nice job!
