updating the seats Three questions:
#1: I am looking into updating the seats on my '01 Z28. They are the original ones and I want to remove the cloth and install the vinyl ("leather") covers. I know there is a lot of retailers that offer the correct fitting ones but I don't want to shell-out $800 to $1000 on covers that will not fit RIGHT. Any advise on getting the right ones? I don't mind spending the money if they will be just want I want and look like the ones GM offered on the cars originally.
#2: Is it a pain in the *** to install? I know they come with the "hog" rings but not the clamp which I have to buy. Is it better for me to buy the material and pay a pro to do it?
#3: Where can I get new foam cushions. The driver's side buttom cushion is worn out and I can feel the metal frame on the sides. Not cool!!!
I apreciate any input on this matter and cannot get enough of this site!

on the other side of my town there are a lot of hispanic shops that are known to do work cheaper than most, most towns have this area could get new foam and leather all new for a great price. Or would find a low mile camaro,ta,or bird and get seats from that.oem is always the best fit
