I purchased my seats from the famous auction site. It was at one time called Corvette Originals and they are in Georgia. I used new seat foam and had them professionally installed. They look great, the service and price was excellent. There is not one wrinkle anywhere.

Most people will be perfectly happy with seat covers from leatherseats.com. I'm not most people, I'm a little more picky. I bought from leatherseats.com about a year and a half ago, and I'll say you get what you pay for. I didn't pay a lot and I didn't get any more quality than I paid. I've never done a seat cover swap so I paid a "professional" to do it. I ask around and went with a guy that was recommended by everyone I talked to locally. He charged me $600, the seat covers were $659 (I think, I don't remember if I paid more for shipping). The job looks good, but I would not say great. After seeing mine and feeling the quality of the leather, and seeing some VE jobs, I wish I had spent the extra money and got the covers from VE. There is an obvious difference in fit and quality in the Vette Essentials covers and accessories.

Ya, Tim that's what I thought but this guy came highly recommended by a shop I deal with and about 4 or 5 other people in the area that I respect. I think prices for any kind of "custom" work here in the Motor City are higher than other area's. I did call around to about a half a dozen other shoppes and he was inline with everyone else.
They have probably gone up, I bought the covers about 2 years ago, I got two tone blk/red with the C5 emblem on the top of the seat, with red stiching and a consol cover in two tone that also has a C5 emblem
So I guess it all evens out.
They looks good but after seeing some VE seats in person and feeling the leather, I wish I would have spent the extra and got the covers from them.
