Default Make Your C5 Look Great Again!

All you need to do is change seat covers, and your C5 will look great again. Either visit our website ridies.com or our ebay store

Thanks

Looks good. Are you a fairly new vendor to the forum? Also, do you have covers for the standard seats with Z06 logo on headrest?

More colors/customizing needed on the door armrest covers. Website doesn’t show them, ebay site has them but the “tell us what you want” method of ordering is not the best way to visualize what we might be getting.

Yes we are somewhat new on the forum, but we have been around in the business for few years. Please look at this link for z06 covers http://stores.ebay.com/ridies/?_dmd=2&_nkw=c5+z06. Of course we can make these covers in other color combinations too.

Our website, ridies.com does allow you to pick your own color for leather and stitching. Ebay doesn't have that option.

Those look very nice and dead on match to OEM along with a very fair price. How would you compare appearance and wear characteristics of leather to synthetic?

Leather colors that we support

I've had your seat covers saved in my eBay favorites for awhile now, I just need to pull the trigger and now that I see your a Corvette Forum Vendor, that's a plus.

It would help to see leather colors that match the factory leather colors. The C5 Anniversary interior colors Shale and Medium Dark Neutral would be welcome.

When I went to my cart, it said "covers" with an "S", does that mean the price is for two covers or is that price for each one?

thanks!

I've got their synthetic leather seat covers. ordered them 6 months ago but only installed the passenger top & middle so far. They look good!

My only gripe is when I cut the small slit in the back of the headrest for the seat lever the material just started ripping from the stretch/pressure. To the point the bezel around the lever wouldn't cover it. I will eventually have to pay to have it replaced as it drives me nuts. That's the only reason I haven't installed the driver side yet. Afraid the material will do the same thing.
Maybe real leather wouldn't have done that?

Sometimes you have to use heat gun, or just stretch it slowly. They are supposed to fit tight, otherwise you will have wrinkles.
