Have you checked with a local upholsterer in your area? The work might be better, and might be comparable to what those leather seat covers cost (and the overall product will probably be better as well.).

Pro-con..some say leather wears faster...I think that is true...had my original 78 vynyl/leather seats re done in leather...showing some wear at drivers seat side....originals lasted much longer...got leather in 69...evaluating.....leather needs more care more often..

Can someone point me to a link with these leather-like seat covers? I plan to do an interior restoration this winter, including some kind of affordable seat cover. Basically, it's an experiment to see how cheap and how good I can do it.

Did mine with leather like from Corvette America last winter my only sugestion would be to use new foam. The seats are great.. cut well & easy to install

the 78 seats were a combination of leather and vinyl from the factory. the seating area, leather all the trim, vinyl. those 4 inch bolsters were the big problem, LOL!!
