Thanks Ridies for clarifying the logo thing.

Funny thing is that a car like a new Porsche 911 doesn't have logos on seats and here we are nitpicking about getting a GM logo on new covers. Guess once you have it, you don't want to lose it.

Your covers look great. Do you sell seat foam too? Do you have a recommended list of installers you work with in certain areas? The cover's only as good as the installer, nothings fuglier than lots of wrinkles and covers not pulled taut.

Yes we do have foams too for C5. We are working on foams for C6 as well. Sorry we don't really have any installers (we should though). We always just recommend to google upholstery shops in your area and not go with the cheapest option. Look for reviews and maybe visit their website or facebook page if they have any.

Sorry I wish I could be of more help.

Here is another set of C5 seat covers that we did for our customer. Light oak with diamond stitching and perforation in inserts

Again, if we have done your seats then we would love to see pictures of your interior too here in this thread.

For mine, I found a local installer who does custom cars, and he only charged $275 to put them on. He even came to my home, pulled my seats and took them, and brought them back 2 days later with the finished product and reinstalled them. that was 2yrs. ago and they still look great!!

Your installer did an excellent job. $275 is a very good price. Seat cover matches the rest of the car perfectly. Vertical lines in the inserts just takes it to a next level. Do you have more pictures?

great looking seats Ridi , just wish you could get the CORVETTE name on the 1in strip across the seats. I really think that makes it look nice.

Your seat covers do look very good. I too would echo that part about having the logo and lettering on there though - makes the seats look so much better IMO.

Sorry manufacturing side said that they won't do 50th anniversary for corvette logo either. I think i was thinking of 50th anniversary of 300ZX logo. Sorry about confusion.

Thanks

Yes I agree but GM is almost impossible to work with. My understanding is that there is just no response from their side.

If someone from this forum can help us get that then we will really appreciate it.

Thanks

We did these covers for a customer where the C5 seats were made to look like C6 seats. He was very happy with the outcome. Black leather with torch red accents and black alcantara

You can design your own C5 seat covers here, or call us at 317-516-5962.

If you have bought covers from us then we would love to get installed pictures here in this thread.
