Seat opinions needed (94-96 STD or Sport)
 

This inquiry is only regarding the 94-96 Standard and Sport seats. I know many think the best seats are 90-93, but for the purpose of this thread this again is only 94-96

So I currently have 94 Sport seats in my vette. I like them but I really want two tone, current seats are black and while I like them I would like the two tone style. the problem is I don't think the sport style stitching likes right in a two tone.

The 94 Standard seat look great to me in two tone. I would be doing black with red inserts..

The dilemma I have is with the side bolsters, I like the sport seat side Bolster depth over the standard, I also like the lumbar and adjustments.. but I prefer the Standard style. now I have modified the foam for one standard seat and have fit it to the sport frame (had to modify the sport frame too). I think for me the best set-up would be the standard seat with lower sport side bolster, however, I think there would be too high of a cost for the custom leather...


here are some pictures of the comparison between the 2 seats (oh these are not the seats in my car currently These are extras I have)

So would you pursue the custom standard with deeper bolster? modify the sport frames for the Standard seats?

If you did custom leather, who would do it? I found the 94-96 seats are leather seating surface only, sides and backing are vinyl

So I want to order the seats

Here are my ideas/options:

1) sport seat design but two-tone

Colors as pictured


2) base seat design, but sport seat side bolsters

Yellow would Red on the above


Also would you do perforation on either?

SO would you just do the Sport seat covers or the Custom Base style? I have the foam to cut chop and modify for the custom base ones

Thoughts?

96 sport no holes

Looking at the foam and such I think the sport oem style is the way to go. Need to fix some foam on a set of seats first

Maybe all red and not 2-tone

The stock sport seat doesn't look like much, but they are definitely comfortable on long trips. I like the red/black sport seats shown above.
