Who has had a professional Auto Trim Upholstery install the Competition Seat conversion? I am looking to find out what you were charged and how much it cost for them to do it? The local places won't quote you without have the kit in front of them to review what it entails and how many hours it would take. Several of the top shops in Michigan I contacted did say their hourly rate is anywhere from $80-$100 hours but no one would like to pre-purchase a kit and then pay $800-$1000 which is why I am trying to get an ideal of what others have paid for installation and how many hours did the professional take to install. Thanks in advance for providing this helpful information that's needed so I can have an ballpark of what to expect!

I suppose you could probably show/send them this and they would probably be able to give you a quote
I emailed and provided the entire DIY from your sight but they have said it provides a general idea but it's not like reviewing the kit. The concern is under quoting based on looking at pictures of a DIY. Do you have a picture that shows it component of the kit how it's sent out? I think that might be helpful! Several people here in Michigan want to get the kit but not without knowing install cost. Also, do you have contact with those that paid to get install and I think getting general pricing for installation from a number of people would be helpful to know what to expect.

I paid $300 plus had them change the seat cushion. Very good deal and they did a great job so gave the guy a $50 tip. This is a smallish shop in Central Mass. They (he) probably spent 6 hours on it but hard to tell as he didn't charge by the hour - just for the job.

Reason: Adding hours
Thx RipCord! I would pay $300 in an heartbeat! So @ 6 hours it would cost $600 here so of course need to continue to shop around.

Can seat heaters and cooling be enabled on cars that did not have them from the factory? Put another way, is the wiring intact to support adding the seat heaters/coolers and switches?
Do you have any idea when 2017 parts will be available, and if tension blue seat conversions will be available?
Which 2017 parts are you after?
Yes, Tension Blue will definitely be available as soon as we get them in stock. There's been some issues with the part numbers, and we're working with GM to get a full set here since most people are going to want to swap their bottoms also if they're adding the blue.

I am just after the tension blue seat conversion, and a tension blue center console lid. The Tension blue is a competition seat only, correct? Any idea on pricing yet for the conversion? Thanks!
This interior option includes the required seat bottom covers that will install on your GT seat bottoms to match the upper seat conversion.
This kit comes as shown here with tension blue outer, and black suede inner portions:
FINALLY!!!! I been waiting for you guys to get the remaining part number straightened out so this kit could be put together! Now to save up some dough! lol
