Looks great One of my winter projects is to do my interior. I also have a firethorn interior and will be doing almost the exact combo. How do you rate the quality of the leather and how does there price compare to vette essentials.

I think the quality of the leatherseats.com is good to excellent. I have never seen a Vette Essentials interior in person but have read they are the best. They should be for twice the price I have paid for my set up.

I believe this is about as cheap as you can replace the seats & foam.
I know! I did a ton of research (months worth) before I finally pulled the trigger. One reason I pulled the trigger is because of the lack of Firethorn Red material available to make the seat covers!
I think I have answered all questions?
Thanks for all the kind words!
