Time For New Seats
My Y2K's oak seats are starting to look 8 yrs. old. I searched this outfit, but found little if any information on the forum. Has anyone used these seats? They look good especially for the $$$.

That's the cheapest sport set I've seen! Most are 700 and up! Looks great. I wonder if the leather is any "thinner" or less durable than the more expensive ones? Probably not!
How hard was the install?

I have seats from this vendor in light oak and torch red with the embroidered logo on the headrest. I have received many compliments. The quality was excellent. They can pretty much do whatever colors and placement that you would like. You will not be disappointed. You will have to use the instructions from vette essentials to do the install as the vendor does not provide any instructions.

I learned about these from you back in March!

Looks good to me! 
I think next year will be when I redo the seats in my '00 coupe as well. I have the Lt. Oak interior.. going to redo them with Lt. Oak/Black seats when I do the swap.

Yep, I re-skinned both seats and did the rocking fix in 4 hours. It's really straight forward, nothing technical. I only replaced the side foam on the drivers seat, all the rest was in great shape. I also put a piece of carpet over the wires before reinstalling the seat foam on both, it (the wires) cut into them pretty good.
