How do the heat and cool functions work with the skins on?
I have not tested that personally. The material does have perforations so I think it would still work, at least somewhat. Obviously, any cover will interfere some with those functions.
That's a trade off you'd have to consider to protect your seats with these skins.

If your C7 is a few years old and you drive it a lot, you may want to consider getting good quality seat covers put on to keep the bolsters from getting worn. Every time you slide across the seat you're adding to to the wear. Eventually its gonna show and your car's value will suffer because of it. Its not a matter of IF it will show, its a matter of WHEN it will show. Take a close look at your seats today. You may see wear already starting! And seats don't heal - they will just get worse.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
I'm not sure what *new* C7 seats cost but decent used ones generally run $2000-3000. That's if you can find them to match your car...
A pair of seat covers that costs less than $400 sure seems like a good investment. Don't wait until the wear becomes visible. Then its too late!

I just had the driver's seat covers replaced under warranty due to wear, but these still might be a good idea.
Guys and Gals,
Got a question for you daily drivers. I just added these new items to my product line. They are seat skins that are a custom fit for the C7 standard seat: Suede with gray accent
Is this something that might appeal to you guys? I have a set in my '16 Stingray and I can safely say that they fit well and are very good quality.
Please chime in with your opinions.
Cheers,
Dave
I'd be interested in buying if I could get something like that in a match for Adrenaline Red (how hard can it be to match the colors?) but with the inner part being a darker red color. That is a suede like fabric? It's not alcantara leather is it?
Would even drive out to San Diego to have them installed (I don't need much excuse to go back to San Diego and jam with my old band).
Oh and to add possibly a zinger - I have competition seats! Do these covers work with competition seats?
(The one thing I wanted to add to my C7 when I ordered her was suede inserts in a darker adrenaline red color).

Sorry, we currently have skins for the standard seat only.
Omg that looks oem as heck. If you can offer a self installation guide and white accents with stiching crosses, I will be a buyer!
Hi AceG,
This is a brand new offering for us and our current color combinations are limited for now. Here's what we currently can offer: https://www.sandyeggodesigns.com/pro...te-seat-skins/
The installation instructions will be ready by end of the week.
Cheers,

Thanks for the follow-upm but I cannot do the Lambo wannabe "diamond" design.
Please, let us know if you get something else, even rolled & pleated in all black. All the best.
Uh, we didn't set out to copy anyone else's seats so I'm not sure what the "Lambo wannabe" is all about... just sayin'.
But I guess if they look like Lamborghini seats then so be it!
Cheers,
Dave
