Default Worn leather seats suggestions?
My 99 SS tan leather seats are looking worn out already, i dont really like the way most covers fit on cars Im looking either to replace the seats or have someone re do the leather what do you guys think? any suggestions would be appreciated.

6LE is Quality stuff with great options to REALLY customize your seats(all or just fronts).

If you are just looking for a fix for one seat, then a local upholstery place 'd be great.

Yep, I used my stock rails on the seats.
I bought my seats from ebay in summer 2009.
They are still the same as day i got them,even after 2.5 years in my dd.
