Default Are These factory seats?

I am looking at buying a 99 Z28 48k mile car and the seat covering doesnt look factory to me from what im used too. Can anyone help out identifying if these are recovered or are original? THanks

They look like 93-96 style. From the pictures it's hard to tell if they are O.E.M but they look to be. Nice shape and I always liked those better than 97+ seats.

^^A lot of times people get the newer style seats recovered at a place that still has the older style pattern and either like it, don't care or don't know any better.

They look good regardless...

I wished my 2001 seats looked that good. 48K for a 99 is very low mileage. Good luck.
