SEAT COVERS?? Input needed
Hi all, I am looking for seat covers for my LMB w/ Cashmere Coupe. Preferably under 200.00. Please offer suggestions. Looking for looks, fit and protection.
Thanks all

I just received my leatherette black with red insert with "CORVETTE LOGO" seat covers from Coverking.
Tried to order them thru a forum vendor, but they said that Coverking told them that they, Coverking, couldn't put on the logo, so I went to the source. Coverking put on the logo.
Cost thru the vendor was around $245 but thru Coverking it's around $275. It takes around 4-5 weeks to get them because they are custom made.
Look at PFYC's site to see the black with red insert seat covers for C-6's. One of my club members has the blue insert and it looks great on his LBM! Mine will too when I get them on this afternoon.
Good luck!

I had the Wet Oaklys (sp) in my C5 and loved it(neoprene)... Will the leatherette hold up? And does it do any damage to the seat?
Thanks,

Wwoody has the Coverkings and when I told him I was getting the leatherette, he said his was the neoprene.
Mine looks like natural leather and his looks more spongy and like a wet suit, if you're up close.
I'll find out tonite what they look like side by side. he's coming over to help me install them. They said it only takes 30 minutes to install.
Will they wear out the seat, I don't know and I hope not! I've never had seat covers, so this will be a first!

I should be able to head over this afternoon, but I'll probably be in my truck, and not the Blue Monster. I'll give a ring in the mid-afternoon. -WwWwWwoody

Leatherette
Leatherette is a high quality vinyl with a soft, leather-like feel and look. A tough material which will stand up to children and pets, yet clean up easily with a wet sponge. The same material adds a luxurious leather look to any vehicle. Leatherette is available in both solid and two tone color combinations."

The original seats showed no wear after 3 months when I took them off because I sold the C6. Price? $230 with logo, $199 w/o.

Very Important!!!
Hey guys, don't forget that if you have the 1SA or the 1SB packages, you have side impact airbags built into the seats. If you put a cover on top of that, you are risking a bad injury if the airbag goes off and can't deploy properly because of a cover you put over it!

Ditto. Are these people who need seat covers hauling stinky butts around, hogs to market, or what?

UFSO, you can get both logos, flags and lettering on any coverking seat cover.

You cannot tell the difference by looking at them. But I guess 911 owners are more discriminatory then us lowly Vette owners.
