Snapped a quick pic after opening the box from Interior Innovations. So far I'm very pleased with the results:




Install this weekend.

It's just the flash from the camera. It's really a deep red.

I'm color-blind, so anything red (or green) gives me a hard time.

Are you doing the install yourself?

If so, you could save yourself some time and use zip ties instead of hog rings. I would also avoid putting on the skins then trying to zip the back. I was better off keeping them zipped up and pulling the skins around the bolsters. A few people have broken the zippers when they tried to make it their last step on the seat back. Good luck and post pics when you are finished

Can't wait to see them installed. As previously mentioned, the zippers gave me fits on my covers from II. Mine still look great after a year.

Yes, I'm doing the install myself; it's really not that hard to do. I replaced the seat skins in my C5 so I'm not anticipating much difficulty with installing these. I'd already planned on going with zip ties instead of hog rings; it makes the job much easier. The zippers are a snap too as long as you have a second pair of hands helping you.

The last time I installed covers on a C5 standard seat, I held both sides of the back together while a friend zipped the zipper up for me; I wasn't able to do it myself.

I believe it was pics of your interior after the install that prompted me to contact them for mine, so thanks for that.
