O.K. I think the place is named untouchables or something like that. I had my seats on my miata done in ultrasuede and leather about 4 years ago and they came great. This was the shop that funkmaster flex used as his upholsterer. He's located on southern boulevard and around 156th. Check him out.

Steve,

Where did you find the z06 skins?

I'm about ready to send a check to Vette Essentials for all leather skins for my FRC. Nice stuff but a bit pricey.

forgot the username, he only had one set(replaced w/ mod red)

if you need help w/ the new covers, let me know, the frc seats are relatively simple to take apart, you should be able to find some covers for 3-4,500 depending on condition

i've changed over everything in the white FRC to z06 spec, scoops, wheels, cluster, seats, now it's time to add the power, btw i have a new set of wheels that i believe are exactly like yours, let me know where you got them, thanks

I used Automat for a headliner in my old firebird, and they did a good job.

Steve,

My wheels are 18" Mallett 396's. They were on the FRC when I bought it. No longer in production. Supplied to Mallett by Corvette Garage, Lubbock TX, made by ACE. I was able to get a new front 18X9.5 from CG and had it chromed to replace a bad one I had. PM me if you need more.

(Sorry to hijack the thread)
