OK - carpet arrived so the shipment is complete
it looks AWESOME
I was worried it would look cheap but it is quality stuff
Mia - Yes, the seatbacks are in the smaller bag, with compartment door covers, kick pads and the console strips
great buy

Just out of curiosity, I thought the complete interior kit came with the seat backs already installed??? Good thing I kept the originals...
Did I misread something? The original link to the product I ordered appears to be gone? Anyone know if these were supposed to just be covers? I bought the complete leather link kit that was on special listed in this thread BTW..
Thanks...

No way, those clam shells are about $500.00 a side or more. The leather or leather like covers are either mounted or unmounted depending on what you ordered but I haven't seen anyone sale the entire installed seat...I'm sure you can get them but be prepared for sticker shock.
If yours are worn looking, probably a good time to paint them before putting the carpet on or installing the cushions.

I'm not talking about the clam shells.. Mine are in perfect condition.. I am talking about the seat bottoms and backs.. ie, the actual leather like covers/foams.... I could have sworn what I ordered was already on the foam.. They are not..
Looking for a place today that can put them on for me as there is no way I can do it...

The link I went to (which no longer exists) had a description that seemed to indicate it was the foams/covers covered already..

Sounds like you ordered the wrong kit. If you bought it for $665 then it's 100% for sure you didn't get mounted on foam seats.
The difference of the sale price from original was maybe 10 percent, give or take, on the various kits. I know they offered many many different setups. Sounds like you looked at the mounted interior kit but actually selected the other one when ordering. I would call them and see about sending your covers back, pay the difference and get mounted on new foam. You're looking at a price much closer to the $995 so what the difference would be is a good target - $320.00. I'm not a Willcox person, just giving you what I think happened.
They are really good at helping customers get stuff right.

Well I ended up finding an upholstery place just a few blocks from my office. 1 day an $200 and the skins are on.. Gonna go home and put them on the seat buckets!!!
They look great BTW.. Used the original seat foams and new hog rings.. They came out great... I'm happy!

vacuum diagrams
Does ANY ONE have an accurate vacuum hose routing diagram for headlights and heater/ac including an accurate parts list for a 1978 I ordered one it came as paper stapled together and looks like all pictorials are for earlier vettes no good to me. I followed what was there to a tee and trouble shot all possibilities still no headlight or consistant heater/ac vacuum control. Getting very frustrated

I have everything installed and it looks fantastic... I'll likely be buying the weather strip kit from you guys next..
Yeah, mounting them was not bad. It was like 3 hours at $65/hr plus the hog rings and some other parts.. They look awesome either way..
If I had it to do again, I would have had these guys that did the covers sew a custom embroidered Vette Logo on the seat tops.. I think that would look cool.
The place I took it does some nice work and were only like 1/2 mile from my office.. Had them done a day or two.
Carpet fit great, everything looks fantastic... Have not put the door skins on yet, but again everything looks great. My digital camera bought the farm, so when I get the replacement I will show the before and after.
Here the before anyway:
Tell me that is not hideous!

Yes, we ran a sale at the end of December warning customers that the prices would be going up. There will be a sale on seat covers coming soon to the forum section. We have been working day and night trying to get all the prices that changed on interior items corrected. We are done now and will now try to calculate a forum special price on these again soon. We will make a post on this as soon as they done.
