Default Feedback on Ridies Seat Covers

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-2011-C6..._qi=RTM2247627

Does anyone have experience with these seat covers?

Thanks,
Charlie

Ridies (ebay) either has the same owner or buys exclusively from Interior Innovations. Here is a recent discussion in C5 General regarding Interior Innovations. Many happy customers.

I saw those covers on ebay and they do look like they come from interior innovations.

I bought from the vendor directly but the prices are essentially the same. They are a nice cover.

You'd do better ordering directly from Interior Innovations. I have a full interior set from them coming to me next week for my 08 vert.

What is the price from Interior Innovations? I think I will buy new bottom foam.My 06 has 80,000 miles on it so it needs replaced. Thanks for the info.

I paid 450 for mine. Black with red stitching, light oak nova suede inserts, c6 embroidery.
It's a great deal to say the least. The fit is almost perfect. You really can't beat the deal anywhere else.

I was told, don't know how true, if you put on seat covers and have heated seats, they don't recommend you to use that option.

With the inserts? Haven't heard that, but yes I have heated seats.

Corvette_Ed, if you don't mind me asking, what is the turn around time on your order from them? 2, 3, 4 weeks?? I've emailed them but haven't gotten a reply yet...

I placed my order on Friday 2/7, and the covers, console cover, and shift/e-brake boots, were all delivered yesterday. This was on a custom order no less, as they'd never done the headrest embroidery I was wanting. They did an awesome job from what I can tell so far. Install will be this weekend.

^^^Awesome. And I received an email from them right after my post. Looks like they average between 5 and 7 business days, which is amazing for leather/custom leather products! Be sure to post pics. I'm ordering all things you got today.

Considering all the jacked up prices we Corvette owners pay for things, this is a great value for a quality product. I'm very happy with my seat covers.

Not to revive a Dead Thread, But I am about to purchase from Ridies.Com (They Bought Interior Innovation). And I spoke with a gentlemen Named Masood, very nice and even gave discount deals. Knocked almost 40$ off the top. I am trying to decide if I want to go with Genuine Leather or synthetic. Anyone have suggestions on wear?

Go with the genuine leather. I've tried both, and found the genuine leather is much more durable and pliant. Not to mention it will last a lot longer than synthetic will.

I did mine from them a couple months ago, real leather, amazing quality, did the install myself, heated seats. Get the perforated leather, works great, love them, one of the best improvements ever.

Second for the real leather. Overly impressed with everything except the Velcro. Difficult to get the seat bottom seams to adhere.

My driver side seat is beginning to show wear at the stitched area on the bolster. It appears to be peeling like vinyl will sometimes do. I am assuming the whole factory seat cover is not leather, just the seating surfaces. If this is not a reasonable fix at an upholstery shop, I will consider these. Anyone know how close the cashmere leather will match the factory cashmere color? I would prefer to keep a stock look, but might consider the perforations if they make the seat cooler.

Funny to see that pic again. The cashmere color was called light oak. It was not an exact match but pretty close. Not sure what ridies calls the color now. I changed out the interior again so the cashmere inserts were replaced with black.
