Help with seat options
Can anyone give advise on what new seat covers to go with?
I have a 76 and have factory black leather but I can't really swing the money for the real leather ones.
My question is how good quality wise are the " leather like" seats covers that most corvette books have for 200.00?
Do they feel like leather? Would anyone know but me ?
Thanks for any help, just trying to stay on budget with this build!

I had the leather-like on mine for several years. They were good quality, but they still felt and looked like vinyl, IMO.
I have since installed C5 seats with new leather covers, big improvement.
Whatever you decide, spring for new foam too.
