Everything looks great so far!
You gonna be making covers and what not to sell?
I'd be willing to be a guinea pig for ya!
But I am definitely interested if a set for a '94 Z if you plan on selling.

I will be doing another camaro this summer and will be keeping the factory upholstery and coming up with some custom patterns so I will be able to sew them up without having to actually have a seat in front of me. When this happens I plan on becoming a sponser and hopefully will be able to help some of you guys out.

I would also like to gauge some interest in something like this, so let me know who is all interested in this idea. I would guess price would start around $500 for a set of front and rear upholstery and would go up in price for the more custom and epensive the material that would be used. There would also be an option for matching door panels and shift boots.

I'm in!
I'd be interested in a set similar to the Camaro ones you have pictures of, except i wouldn't want the blue insert.. Maybe like an ebony seat with charcoal inserts or something along that line.

95greenbird, any chance you might be able to fix my leather seat? I don't have a camera with me right now but I will grab a picture on Sunday or Monday and PM it to you if you want.

As an example, I have a closeup picture of my seat from a while ago below. The problem is that the middle thread for the center section (where your back rests) have ripped vertically for about 8" and the threads running horizontally have started to tear as well about the same length. I'm not looking for perfection, really just looking to get it as fixed as possible and prevent it from continuing for a while. I will be replacing the seats eventually.



I'll get an accurate picture soon.

Thanks.
