Default Let's see your seats!

Looking to re-cover my seats in my C5.

I'd love to see some pictures of what you guys are running.

Where did you get them?
How much did they cost? (If you don't mind sharing.)

Comments about quality, pros, cons, etc.

Thanks guys!

Hi sydneyACE,

Here are my seats on my 2000. I had then covered by a shop by where I live in Indio Ca., the shop is called P&M custom upholstry. http://www.pandmcustomupholstery.com They charged me about $300 to cover the seats with the covers I provided. I purchased the covers from these guys on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/str/leatherrevolution The cost for my covers was $399.00 and I could not be more pleased with the quality and the look of the seat covers.

My knockoffs....Pleather. Look and feel great. Came from the national auction site.






They were $176. complete with shipping, and all mounting hardware.
Installed with red seat belts, about three months now, I love them.

For over $600.00 your seats seem to have a lot of unwanted wrinkles in them.

I have the same covers and they look great on yours as well as mine... Nice quality and custom look. I used new foam in the install. BTW, they will tighten up as the sun heats them...

Here's an "in progress" from a while back. Started as a speaker upgrade that cascaded into a full on interior project

Here are my Vette Essentials seats. Sadly, they are no longer in business.

Got mine from a place called Auto Custom Leathers. Great people to deal and work with. Great customer service as well if you need it. I think the cost was around $600 shipped and they use all leather. The only place I could find at the time that would do purple stitching that was in my budget.

Purple is the second color on my list, I incorporated it in my hoodliner graphic. Your interior looks great!

Now that's what I call a speaker upgrade!!
Really like the diamond tuck with tone on tone stitching.

There's a lot of nice looking seats in this post.

Really tough to photograph seats IN the car. Here’s a couple of more. I edited them trying to get the stitching color right. It’s Corvette Light Oak.

Thanks for the kind words !
The diamond tuck is in honor of a buddy who used to show his home built 69 Chevelle at the Oakland Roadster Show.
