where to get custom interior made??? I have not visited the board for a while, but didn't we have a sponser that did custom leather swaps? I remember they did a few gps too. Does anyone have their website they could post? I want to replace my two front seats...
thanks,

Thanks guys. I am VERY happy with the seats now. My own design blending Z06 flair into a TA seat installed in a Camaro! 
Evern square inch of the seat is leather, no vinyl. Ken even got rid of the hard plastic back and the "accordian" things on the side, that GM felt were necessary for the articulating side bosters.

But that includes the embroidery, 100% leather and, a totally custom design where no templates or patterns were available.When it comes to my car, I twisted . . .
You get what you pay for.. you may save some $$ but you will have crocked stitching.. baggy fit and other "shortcuts"
Or you could get aftermarket seats like I did and then have the rest of the interior done to match..

I went with custom, since I wanted to change the "design" of the leather, where Katskin is a catalog cut.
it was http://www.leatherseats.com and i just redid my seats with them and did a write up on it
