Ok - need to replace / update the seats in our 98.

Ken at VetteEssentials is the best. A bit pricey but well worth every penny.

What color are you looking for? I have a set of light pewter sport seats for sale. Passenger seat is perfect and driver seat has slight worn spot on bolster area. Let me get your email I can send you pics, I'm local in Park Ridge. Jason

you could always just have them redone. New foam and leather. Don't know how much it would cost though.

Oem skins are around 600 dollars new.
Mid america skins are 900 dollars, better than OEM softer and thicker and offer two tone colors
Vette Essentials 2000 dollars base seat/2500 sports seats, best leather and quality on the planet.
I Have Mid America skins
and interior, alittle over 1000 dollars, you can see picture by clicking on my Corvette Photos under my avatar

Evil: Great looking interior. Where did you get the center console cushion and e-brake boot? Did you wet and heat the seats to get them that tight?
