Default Seat Covers

I'm seeing original replacements for $530, vinyl for $400, and 'leather-like' for $300. Do the 'leather-like' ones look cheap? Why are they less expensive? Anyone have experience w/ them?

Thanks

I don't think they look cheep however they are not leather. They do wear well and I had them on my original 76 seats. I decided to install 82 vinage seats and went with the same leather like covers. Its been two years at about 5000 miles a year driving and they still look new.

Vette Helper.. they are on sale until the end of December..

The Leather like covers are a great cover and while you my prefer leather covers the leather like covers offer you a cheaper replacement.

I would suggest you get the pre-mounted leather like covers... nothing better than a factory mounted cover.

You'll get an additional 10 percent off if you use the current sale coupon code.

Mounted Covers can be found here:

The leather-like covers are more-than-adequate for my purposes. Yes, these came from Willcox two years ago.

You can be the judge as to whether they look cheap.
