Default Leather Seats

Now that it appears everyone's favorite source for seats is having problems, is there anyone else to get high quality replacements from?

hmmmm
well, i'm waiting for Mid Amer to get the license from GM on their seats. What i mean is...i was at carlisle asking mid about two tone seats for my 95 sport and they don't make them right now (with logo also). he said in a few months the will be getting license from GM to be putting the logo on the headrest and be making two tone for the 95-96 sport with foam.
so i wait.

I got mine from Corvette America. There quality is very good. And, if you like two-toned versions, they've got those as well.

Mid-America Designs also sells covers. There are others but I believe these two sources have the best selection, quality, and service.

The best price I've found on seats for my 88 is through Wilcox. But, I've never bought anything from them before....so I don't know about the quality or how they are to deal with...

Some of the guys on a Chrysler FORUM I'm a member of (my dd is a Sebring vert) have bought leather covers from www.leatherseats.com and have only good things to say about the fit and quality. The prices seem very fair for C4 covers and they offer alot of different color combinations. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Good luck with your search.

I'll start checking around. I have to have somebody "GM" licensed because mine is a '93 and I want the headrest embroidered like original.

I have a 90 coupe. I had mine recovered at a local interior shop. They have access to leather of all colors. You can ask about the embroidery on the head rest. Mine also has the Corvette logo. I am very satisfied with the quality and appearance. Cost me $1000.00. Looks as good as new. I think $1200.00 is the running average cost. Good luck.

Holy cow, I didn't realize it would run that much to have them recovered! What all did they do to your seats? I was thinking of having mine done locally in the winter.
