Finally, New Seats

I finally took the financial plunge and bought new seats. Got them from Al Knoch in Texas. New foam, new leather and what a difference. The new foam must be at least 1 to 1 1/2 inches thicker and it sure is comfortable. No more plopping into the seat, just slide in like you're supposed to.

Re: Finally, New Seats (scorpion)

I think it's well worth the money, especially if the vette is a daily driver.

Scorpion,
The website is http://www.alknochinteriors.com
They are constantly adding new Corvette stuff and if you don't see what you want call the 800 number.
And yes, the Vette is my daily driver.

Those seats look good. From what I've seen you got them for an average price for real leather and new foams. :cheers:

Re: Finally, New Seats (WEGONE)

Al doesn't make '96 sport seats...hence why I went the custom route. But those look fantastic! Real nice leather...enjoy.

Someday soon...I might show off my new seats too... :(
