seat question
this has Probably been beat to death but I am looking for a place to buy a set of real leather Z06 seat cover replacements with red red stitching and alcantara accents any ideas how I can make this happen. Is caravaggio the only option?

Have no idea what alcantara accents are, but try Vette Essentials.

I have seen some Leatherseats.com covers with suede on them posted up on the site recently.

I just put some 2 tone black/red seat covers from leatherseats.com on my 04, I am a little disappointed with the fit of the covers. They don't fit as well as stock covers or Vettessentials. They still look good but on the front of the seat bottom it doesn't fit real taunt. Kinda wrinkled, and the foam only has 10,000 miles on it so it's not worn out. Buy the way Alcantara is a man made fabric that simulates suade, it looks about the same comes in more colors and is easier to take care of.

It helps to put the seats out in the sun to heat them up to get the wrinkles out.

That's been kinda hard to do here in Mi. lately. Hopefully when it warm up (maybe in June or July) it might get a little tighter. They're really well made and look good but the fit's kinda loose.

Yes I could but it's been so cold lately and I haven't felt like firing up the big propane heater I've got (100,000 btu). The garage has been about 30 degrees and I don't like the cold. It's suppose to warm up this weekend maybe I'll try then, Thanks.
