OEM leather in our cars is crap. A good synthetic is usually better. Actually, most of our "leather" isn't leather, it is synthetic. Usually just the face is leather, rest of the seat is synthetic.

Couple questions.......
These will fit C5's right? from the pictures they seem to have much more support than stock Z06 seats.. is ther a big difference from stock?.. my stockers have me sliding my fat *** in hard turns
I see you mounted them on power rails, Im guessing it would be the same with mine right(memory, recline, and everything)? and last but not least how much you charge If you would install these at RMS ?

Synthetic holds up just as well if not better. Just not as soft in my experience. Then again, I'm talking about real leather in high end cars, not our leather.

Ok, there's seems to be interest in these.... Here's what I have worked out:
I might be able to get them and sell them for the cheap price I posted if it looks legit to the vendor and I start off with 10 orders (whatever options) and then can get that PERMANENT price.
Steve is willing to make brackets again IF I can buy 10 at a time (I don't blame him, a lot of time and material go into those things).
So, here's what I can do. The first 10 to place an order with me (again whatever style and color) will get it for the price mentioned in the post above with FREE BRACKETS FOR F-BODY MOUNTING.
That's right, I'm buying your brackets for you for the first round. To get a price gauge, Arizen charged $150 for them. I'm not sure what I will charge in the end, whatever I can talk Steve into making them for (and whatever he wants he gets, I did it with him before and they are a PITA).
So, is anyone interested enough to order? What are you interested in? I asked about two tones and they will NOT do them. There is possibility on all red or blue seats (I think only in cloth though, maybe also in leather) e-mail me about that and I can call if you really want do do something that ugly to your car
Let's get a list going, no money yet, just post your name and what seats you want and be willing to paypal in a week to get them and we'll see where it goes...
I really do love my seats and get compliments EVERYWHERE I go on them. A quick search will show modifications I did as well ($5 lumbar, mounted factory seatbelt guide on them, put a GM PERFORMANCE DIVISION plaque on them, etc...)...

Are these seats more comfortable than stock? Also, it sems that the plastic piece on the headrest might be uncomfortable on the back of someone's head, is it? I think they would look better if that part was just filled in like the stock Camaro seats...
They sure do look nice!

Unless it is HIGH END leather (which it obviously isn't for this price) then you won't tell a big difference... This synthetic is not like the crap you get on those Summit seats, the ones they stock at Kragen. Those literally feel like rubber to me...
Does it have a real leather texture to it? That's all I really care about, the fake leather usually feels cheap and crappy to me.
