I'm bummed!
I'm bummed!
Got my new mounted seat covers from Corvette America. I actually purchased them from Willcox but they were shipped from Corvette America. I was very excited and all set to install them today but they have to be sent back for replacement
. The install job was pretty poor. The leather was pretty wrinkled, there were several marks in the leather from where the cow rubbed against a barbed wire fence and they generally did not fit well. My entire reason for buying the mounted covers on new foam was to get a very nice crisp "new" appearance. In any event, I spoke to Ron at CA and he promised to make things right. I hope it works out.
I would be interested to see some good pics from those who have replaced their interior so I know I'm not crazy.
BTW! No complaints with Willcox. Norm was my salesman there and provided me some of the best service I've ever had

Thanks for the replies guys!
UPS picked up the seats and I spoke to Ron at CA today. He advised that he sent the shop a note to make sure the new mounted seats are defect free and up to NCRS and more inportantly my standards. I sure hope the new ones get here soon as I'm really itchin to get them installed (got to keep forward momentum going).

That black vette called "mooneyd " is one smokin car. Everytime I see his post I have look at his photos again. A close look at your seat covers are they the leather/ vinyl original type or are they all leather ? Great Car.Thanx Brent
