Here is some information I want to share. I was not going to buy New seat skins but was in the process of doing some research.. I am very OCD about everything I do. . Its a curse. I went to the Ridies website, and did some research. The price seemed to be too good. Ive always professed to this adage of " I can not afford to buy anything too cheap. " I had a few question for Ridies so I called, the guy on the other end called me back in 5 minutes. Remember I had no plan to buy , but was in the process of doing research. The guy on the other end was very friendly and engaging.. there was no pressure , no push to buy. He gave me the logistics of A US based company with a Pakistani based manufacturing facility. He told me it would take 3 or 4 weeks from the day I made a purchase. There was a 100 % guarantee. Remember I had no plan to make a purchase. After about a 15 to 20 minute talk, I felt confident in this guys credibility.. I got no red flags from the conversation, I got no red flags on my BS meter. The guy on the other end was so professional and engaging, I placed the order on the spot. ( I am not easily swayed into a purchase ) He guaranteed me if I did not like them and they were not all that he said they were he would give me my money back.. So what could I lose?
I had purchased a set of Skins from MidAmerica at twice the price, back in 2007, they looked great for all that time, but they were a combination of leather and vinyl panels. I wanted a change in the seat pattern. I was not sure I wanted to spend another 1200 to 1500 dollars. So for 500 dollars I had nothing to lose.and these were 100% leather.
I placed the order and in two weeks I received notice from a global fright company that my seat past US customs. They set up a delivery date for a few days later. These skins were all that they were advertised to be, they blew away my MidAmerica
seats skins.
There is no down side from the order process, the delivery time, the multitude of custom colors and designs. But most importantly the customer service. From my experience in dealing with Vendors both professionally and now that Im retired over the last 74 years. This company has my total endorsement. .
Rides to name one in the 500 dollar range... there is a thread right now in this forum of leather seats for 399.. BTW I bought leather seat from Mid America in 10 years ago and they were 1200 dollars... I replace them with Rides seats.. better quality than Mid America by a long shot.

Hello,
just received my Ridies for my C5 sport seats made on order.
i am not an upholstery specialist and have no experience in changing seats cover.
they look well done, sewing is proper, seams are tight, leather looks of good quality. I'll share some pictures with you so you can make your own opinion. They will be fitted on new foam by a specialist.
enjoy.

Ridies, without question. There is a place on Ebay and people seem to like the results. It's a British company and from what I've seen have NO where near the flexibility of design that Ridies offers. If I were a glutton for punishment I would buy a new set from Ridies just to change the color!
