I have the Vette Essentials ones, but I have talked to several owners who have the Mid-America covers. They are actually pretty good for the money and definitely an upgrade over the stock covers.

I agree with JD when he said that they are a big upgrade from stock. I too, have a V.E. interior. I installed it myself (with the assistance of several Corvette buddies - none of whom were professional interior installers....)
Personally - I saved my money until I could afford the best!

Here's mine from Mid America. Got them at Carlisle last year for less than $800. Have held up pretty good I think. Had the emblem embroidery done locally for $30 Everything else in the car is from VE and I'll have the VE covers someday.

I had No problems with fit or quality of my Mid America interior.
I have seat skins, console cover, door grips, shifter cover, ebrake cover ( beta tester ), and accent surround for the active handling panel. Being retired an on a fixed income, I opted for this package at right around 1100 dollars for everything...
Ken wanted 2500 just for the sports seat skins. If I had the money I would have gone with the VE, beacuse I feel his leather and quality is the best on the planet. I just could not afford it.
Mid America's leather is thick and soft, and a step up from the original skins... but not the quality of Ken's.
