Seat recover - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

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

vinyl ? I thought our seats were all leather . I haven't seen the katskin covers . what I dislike is you cant just buy one seat cover , my passenger seat is perfect but my drivers seat is worn . how much are the katskin covers

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.

Steve,

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?

No idea on numbers yet.

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.

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.

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?

Al Knoch is the guy, I hear good things about him.

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...
