High quality 94-96 sport seat leather covers.
 
Does anyone have a vendor they can recommend for better than oem quality leather replacement seat covers for 94-96my sport seats? Have a set that i want to add to the 93 zr-1. Looking for red or black leather replacements. With or without foam. Also any tips on seat overhauling, is more than welcome.

There is no better quality than OEM,might want to look for NOS,they seem to pop up from time to time.

Have you looked into Corvette America? They are reputable and have quality products. Corvette Central and Ecklers also sell the mounted leather. I would think that there's a chance that they are supplied by the same supplier, though I think Corvette America produces theirs in house. .

What you are looking for is made out of unobtainium. Seat covers alone do not exist for '94-'96 sport seats. The seats were made with the leather bonded to the seat foam during the manufacturing process (gives you the neat seam in the seats).

Either hunt for used OEM or have Al Knoch make you a set. Some people have had a custom seat made. Jerry Downey's '94 (Jerry's Gaskets) and David Johnson (do a search for forum members) are just two people I can think of that could point you in a direction on this.

I hate to say it, I love my 95 seats but for the price of the seat covers you can buy seats!!

I'm looking at corbeau and seeing what I can do but there is no doubt the factory seats are MORE comfortable

my 95 needs seats redone and I'd like to hear of other options. Any good custom folks out there? I'd like to stay with the factory seats but I spent all my $ on an engine

My Custom Sport seats:
Pieces used to make these:
Sport Seat frames and Bladders
Base foam form 94-96 seats
Sport Bolster foam from 94-96 sport seats

The Bolster foam is Grafted to the Base foam.. I preferred the Base seat design but wanted full sport seats..

I had the leather done at this place:

Jeff those are awesome. Approx price?

-=Jeff=- 03-19-2019 03:57 PM

Around $600 for the leather, I did the Foam modifications and mounted them myself.. these are not glued to the foam.

Also these were purchased in 2014

I've heard good things about Al Knoch and Corvette America, but yeah they aren't cheap.

Ron Kreigh: Beside Corbeau you might also look at Braum for custom seats, I've seen at least 2 C4's running Braum, and they are around $1K including brackets.

I've looked at the Corbeau A4 and some others but honestly I was a bit too broad in the beam for them to be comfortable

the factory seats really are nice on long trips, and with a fresh engine coming soon, I'm going to be adding many miles of smiles

David and Jerry's interiors came out great, but that might have to wait a bit. I'm going to be shopping some custom work and see how much $$
