Default Seat Covers

I need new seat covers for my 81 and I'm looking for recommendations on who to buy from and whether or not to get new foam. My seats still feel good and the covers are taut but they are cracked and torn in a couple of places. I talked with one place already about buying seat covers without foam and they lead me to believe that it was difficult to put new covers on new or old foam so they recommended buying their covers already installed over new foam. Anyone have direct experience putting seat covers on old foam and/or where is the best place to buy covers from?

TIA,

Mike

I usually get my interior pieces from Corvette America. Thats were I bought my seats. On the clam shell seats like yours get them on the foam so you can just install them.

I agree, spend the extra money and buy them already installed on new foam, just received mine from Willcox, shipping speed was great!

I got a set from Al Knoch that I'm satisfied with.
