Default Seat covers?

So I need new seat covers, as is normal I'd suppose, for my 99 Z28 convertible. Anyone have a recommendation? Local upholstery place says $1200 which is insane. Help me please! Thanks

Anyone actually installed those covers? Price isn't bad, but you usually get what you pay for.

It depends on what you want done. I highly suggest you email her and give her some parameters. She has been a pleasure to do business with thus far. There is a bit of a wait, but that'll happen when it is hand made one at a time. I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

I wonder if she will cover my passenger airbag cover... lol!

Do any of those colors match the stock "granite (93-96)" color of interiors?

E-mail her to see. There are sample colors and textures on the website as well. I believe she does dash pads, but don't want to say for sure. She is really easy to communicate with.

Princess at Lethal Interiors is awesome. I love my orange houndstooth seats she did for my 99. Top notch work. My car is the first one in her " Customer Cars" section.

So I completely forgot to update this thread. I have my seats and belts updated. I still might go with a black or charcoal grey carpet. This is the transformation...

So easy a cave man could do it! lol
They weren't bad at all. I have NEVER done interior work (outside of after market stereo systems) and did this fairly easily. I just wish SOMEONE would make lower front seat foam.
