Default Re-Covering 4th Gen Leather seats.....

I know theres a site or a place somewhere that sell them already pre-made I guess or you can custom order them. I know the leather seats you can replace the covers easily vs fabric. If anyone knows the link or the website or anything please let me know. Looking to replace the leather on my seats.

Thanks
Mike

I got mine from autoleathers.xxx. Same people as Katzkin. Paid close to 1000.00 for the full leather.

Nineball had some in his 98 from softrim, I can't remember the name, but they were really nice quality. Camaro seats should be easier, but I know on the Firebirds its a bit of an issue because so many came in different combinations of head rests and what not. You may be better off trying to take them to a local shop and having them done. Yearone also sells some covers.

Sells the replacement leather covers, they just dont show a picture. I emailed them on a set for mine and the section that is so notorious for tearing is like 250.00 reg. 450 give or take a few.

have you ordered any of those? i'm thinking about that exact set for my 95 T/A in granite (i'm guessing thats their name for graphite, so i emailed them) leather but want to know if they are a direct swap or if sewing is involved.. i know on the OEM covers the little plastic accordian looking thing is sewn to the seat cover, but i dont know if its included on those covers.. i just got done emailing them these questions but i thought i'd post here to see if anyone knew
