I have no idea how these seats feel, or hold up, but if they are of good quality, I say go for it. I don't like the look, but if you think you'll like it, thats all that matters

Yuck! I would stay away from anything on ebay like that where they use the words "simulated leather". I would guess that they would be really cheap feeling.
But that is just my opnion.

just have someone recover the camaro seats and add some padding if it makes you happier. Changing seats is a tricky business. First off, they will not look as good, second they will suck more than likely. There are a few after market seat manufacturers out there that make good quality, but get what you pay for.

simulated leather will give you a simulated sense of satisfaction until your *** melts with the seat when you have the t-tops off on a sunny day.

Im not saying buy $1500 corbeu's but replacing your dreaded camaro seats with something that already looks crappy on a picture is a bad idea

looks like the $200 seats summit sells. ive heard theyre comfortable and look OK but thats coming from 3rd gen owners who have crap for seats as it is. Id get your stockers covered for that price. plus you can keep the power option.
