Project "Pimp my seats"
***Update:***
-Adding suede inserts to lower bottom and lower back
-Adding shoulder bolsters similar to GTO seats.
-having the headrests embroidered
here is a pic of what is going to be done. Blue L means leather, and Red S means suede. And this is real leather hide, not leatherette that is used on all our cars, and 75% of other cars with supposed "leather".

nice idea, but im not sure on how i feel about how you have it layed out... how the suede only goes up half way up the back of the seat... not sure how that will look, but dont let my opinion change your mind, go for it and see how it comes out!
BTW, im interested to see your extended shoulder bolsters idea, that should look cool

Um, you got ripped on the price of those seats. I bought some cloth seats from a wrecked 94 Firebird with 13,000 miles for $125. Color matches good, and they're in mint condition, except for a small amount of fading on the back seat where its near the window.

They are working on the seats now, forming the boltsers and stuff.
The headrest leather got to Grant (from LS1tech, thanks JC) yesterday. And we are finalizing the design and he should have them done on wednesday or thursday hopefully. So I should have them back on friday or saturday.
And that puts the seat completion on track for September 26/27th.

I wanna get some of those Corbeau cloth knock off seats and get those done in black w/ blue accents when I convert my interior to black. Except, I wanna wrap most of the panels in leather. The rest will be new.
<---- that much. I need a drink.
