Seat recover
So my seats are out to be fixed.
My guy is steering me towards katzkins covers. My leather is still in pretty good shape, but the vinyl is getting rough. Thoughts? Experience? TIA. Steve |

Re: Seat recover
Anything that touches your body is leather, the side pieces are vinyl.
Don't have a price yet on the Katzkins, or OEM for that matter. |

The seat cover I took off my seats were all leather. No vinyl but I'll re-check. Care to say what kind of numbers you're looking at?

Re: Seat recover
I took mine to an apolstry shop recommended by the chevy dealer. They just replaced the pieces (All leather) that needed replacing and they matched the color almost perfect! Not real cheap, about $400. My 90 seats are all leather.

Re: Seat recover
So, it looks like new covers by some guy in Texas. Black with red stitching and Corvette script in red. New foam. About a grand.

Re: Seat recover
I remember seeing a post with pics on the Grand Sport Registry forum....They had a deal with Al Knoch for leather seat covers, like a Registry discount. The pics I remember seeing was a set of red leather with a perforated center section. Looked top notch! Maybe we could get some sort of relationship going with our Registry?

Re: Seat recover
Some C4's have fabric. First one I ever looked at did.
I got rid of my Z's leather, and got some Black C4 fabric seats from fParts / eBay. I tried to get katskins for C4 about '01, and they said nogot...
