If you're looking for the seat cover- any of the forum parts vendors including GM Parts House, Ecklers, Willcox and others have them.

If the foam has broken down- here's a link to a rebuild kit and a good "how-to" : http://www.shop.jwmotoring.com/produ...&categoryId=15

Or if you actually need an entire seat - -frame, blosters, padding and covers- there are several on the C5 Parts For Sale/Wanted Section:

Little bit of everything here on the Forum - - good luck !

What exactly is wrong with the seats? If just worn leather covers, there are a lot of options. Mid-America, Vette Essentials, factory ones, etc, are available. If other parts are bad, CQRT offers some good recommendations.

While you have the seats out and apart, do your seat track fix/upgrade.

The guy just wants a factory skin for the drivers side... not a set of seat skins... any Gm dealer can get you just the drivers side sport seat skin, and can get you a new foam package for the drivers side.. if it like mine... my passesnger side seat looks good as it did the day I bought it 12 years ago...
