Interior Innovations!
After
I bought mine last year and it took one afternoon to do the job. I replaced the foam on the drivers side and put tubing over the wings on the bolsters so they won't come through the new foam. They are great and more than reasonable in price. I went with the all leather version but there are other choices that may save $$$$$

Lots of good comments about the interior from Interior Innovations. Modest price and good quality.

I was on the fence about whether or not to get new foam or just use the seat repair kit. At Carlisle, I went to a C5 seat cover replacement demo from Corvette America. The before and after was amazing - not only the new cover but the overall shape and fit. That sold me on needing to get new foam. I also learned that even if not worn, the foam breaks down over time. The old foam from my '97 would flake off into a powder when I rubbed the bare foam with my hands. It was time to replace. Replacing the foam adds more cost, but why spend the money on new skins to have them not fit snugly?

I've found that too. If the foam turns to powder, nothing's going to save it.
