Default Sport seat conversion advice

Hello i purchased my 1st vette 2 weeks ago (going to post pics soon) its a 97 TR MN6 and the seats have covers on as they are in bad shape. I want to convert them to sport seats however with the skins and the foam im already looking at $1200 plus installation. Would i be better off trying to fing some used seats and recovering them? Also the mod bug has got me by the *****!

This may be a case of you get waht you pay for

Leatherseats.com have some great products and you'd get change from $1200 even adding the cost of foam

That said, you just cant beat the quality of a Vette Essentials interior.

You just need to decide if you want that quality. If you plan to keep the car it would be a good investment.

$2000 for seats is more than i wanna spend. Heck that will take away all my MOD money or should i say MAD money. However i do agree that you get what you pay for.
