While the design may be a waving flag, the lack of symmetry, be it by design or not, is not something that I would find flattering. The minute I saw it, I got the impression that it was poorly designed.. If the explanation was that it's lack of symmetry was on purpose, I would not want to explain to everyone that it was by design.. but many, I believe would think it looks like a mistake.
This is my honest opinion of this particular design... I have Ridies skins and it was my design that they manufactured and I am happy with them.
If they were mine I would hope that once they were mounted and stretched into position that they would look better. As shown in the photo uninstalled I think they look unsuitable to use. Very poorly executed, does not look like a waving flag. Sorry, but that's my opinion.
Yeah, those shown aren't for me personally, but I can attest to the quality of the skins Ridies makes. I always get compliments on my interior anytime I show my car.
I stopped to look at a C6 on a local lot that had those exact same seats. Material and craftmanship was good installation terrible. The salesman and I had a good laugh.
I can appreciate the fact that Ridies will honor anyone's request, and it seems that everyone is happy with the quality of their work. I also understand that everyone has their own taste. That being said... Driving a car with these covers is the equivalent of dressing up like a clown every time you take the car for a drive. Some of you guys need to stop feeding the Corvette owner stereotypes. Ugh.
The installation of your seat skins looks excellent. Did you use new seat foam?
there is only ONE right way to do this job. new foam is the only right way. I installed these myself. I will rarely let anyone else do anything to my car.
And thank you for the compliment.
