Default I get my Iggee seat covers tomorrow!!

I can't wait. The seats are the only old looking part of my 1994's interior.

Also, not to mention, the soft Corinthian naugahyde the Iggee's are made of....

These seat covers will bring me confidence.

I realize the Iggees are meant for covering your current seats, but could you replace the bottom cushion and still use the iggee covers without a problem. My driver's side cushion is in bad shape but I like the iggee covers.

Why not just get another cushion from somewhere like Vette to Vette.

I might buy some friday. People want too much money for used C4 seats, and mine are getting all cracked and just. rough.

HAHAHAHA....go to youtube and type in "Corinthian leather"

Either you've never heard of that, or it's before your time. Corinthian Leather is a marketing term made up by Chrysler in the 1970s that means "nothing"...sounds like you just fell for it hook, line, & sinker.

Any baby boomers feel like chiming in on Corinthian leather? I am only 25, but I've been told what it's about.

The question is, are the seats on the 70s Chrysler's as ripped and torn as the crappy leather in the GMs?

I bought a brand new GM in '02 and by '04 the seats were trashed. Leather sucks.

No I didn't know what it was about.......guess I'm out of the loop on this one :o. And when you put your foot in your mouth I hope I'm there to point that out in the same fashion you did this! That person that told you about Corinthian Leather.......would they be the same one that taught you your manners? BTW, I'm 56. SA! I still like my Corinthian Leather Iggees!

1) They shipped covers for sport seats which I do not have and would never respond to my complaint.

2) The drivers side seat cover split at the seam between the seat back and head rest soon after installation. Again, no response.

I bought some a few years ago and they sent me the wrong color. I called, and 2 days later the right color showed up, and the UPS guy asked for the other package. Cost me nothing but a phone call.

Of course, before installing them I got into the "seat covers are lame" mood and sold them to a member.

However, my 'used seats' I bought are getting bad, almost as bad as the originals only after 2 years and I need to do something. either I spend $320 on vynal covers that replace the stock covers, OR I buy these slip on covers for $200.. I'm not spending another $400 for used seats that are gonna be crap again in a year or two. GM leather sucks, soo bad it's not even funny. The vynal in my buddies '68 mustang is in better shape than my seats. .wtf.

AOD, I hope I do too. What problems did you have?

I have read dozens of peoples' opinions on here about them. You're one of the only one's I recall as having a negative opinion about them.

I'll try, but I have never had luck posting my own pics on an internet forum (not just CF, pretty much any forum). Even when I have a photobucket account, do everything they say, etc. So I have given up on that.

There are PLENTY of pics...just search for Iggee and there are tons of threads on it.

Ricardo Montalbán (born November 25, 1920) is a Mexican television, theatre, and film actor. He has a career spanning decades and multiple notable roles. During the late 1970s, he was the spokesperson in automobile advertisements for the Chrysler Cordoba (in which he famously extols the "Corinthian Leather" used for its interior). He had a way of rolling his R's that made the leather sound much more then what it was.
