Yes we do get few orders like that. I guess some people like the look of C6 seats over C5 seats

Here is another set of pictures that we did for our customer. Black leather with light grey inserts. He takes his cars to shows and has won several awards!

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.

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

Thanks

Some people get our covers to upholstery shops and get those logos stitched.

So the three year/ 24K mile warranty is only good if you don't use it and if you try to use it no one from Ridies will honor it. Is that a fair assessment?

Can one send the piece of GM leather with the Z06 stitched logo to you and have it cut in an oval and stitched into your headrest piece?

Sorry, this will not be possible.Sometimes our customers get covers from us and get the logos stitched from some local upholstery shop. Maybe that is an option for you?

Okay, so you make the seat covers and that option gets you around your excuse not to stitch the logo due to GM rights because I OWN the logo on my current seat covers. So, at a minimum, an excuse for why my option "will not be possible" would have been nice. But that's okay, $800 buys new sport seat foam for my seat frames and a set of sport seat covers with front, side and back panels in genuine leather with the Z06 logo stitched into the headrest. I just wanted to offer an easily workable solution before clicking "BUY" on this other vendor's option. At least I'll have a couple of extra leather pieces with the stitched logo I can use somewhere else in my restoration, even if it's on a cap or jacket.

Sending your logo to our factory will be cost prohibitive for us as our factory is in Pakistan and everything that we sell is made there.
