No offense, but there are a hell of a lot of wrinkles in that leather...

Hi, I was looking at your website. The C6 section indicates years 2005-20011. Are there products for 2012-13 c6’s as well. Maybe I’ve overlooked them, but I’m not seeing them. I dig the look. Thanks.

Prices seem very fair, but I'd humbly recommend getting different installers and "models" to showcase these items...

Take your time to work the leather over the foam, always use new foam, and let it sit in the sun for a couple of days after the install.

Don't stop working the cover until all the wrinkles are gone. I've posted this photo before but will do it again. First time install and kept at it until it looked like I wanted it too.

I also agree with Ed, make sure the foam is in great shape or buy new.

The trick is to crop the photos to hide the wrinkles.

I would have found some better pictures to post. I hope it's just a bad job of installing. They look like crap....

I think the original GM seats look better - even after 25,000 miles

I just ordered a set so everyone relax.... I'm going to have them professionally installed by a custom interior shop I've used in the past who's work is in the top car magazines, they are great with this stuff so.... If they can't make it look great no one will.

I'll post before and after pictures to show either good..or bad..

Just ordered so by the end of the month should be installed
