So, new seat covers yay!!! PICS, 56K

I finally got enough money together to recover my seats. The covers were custom made by Katzkins interiors. They are Tuscany Midnite Leather on the body of the seats, with contrast double stitching, the inserts are exotic carbon nickel, i also recovered the door panels to match. I did the install myself, it took about 6hrs to complete, start to finish. Before you ask, you can get your own at autoseatskins.com, but be prepared. It's kinda pricey. Enjoy!!! Also my stock seat covers are for sale.... https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/parts-66/f-s-mrz-fuse-box-cover-stock-black-seat-covers-123578/

Yea, but these are really not seat cover, like the seat covers you would expect, these are the same thing the manufacturers use when they make our regular seats. This is the equivilant of leather ss seats. Manufacturers actually offer special packages in certain cars with katzkins leather interiors, so this is the real deal...

Yea i totally agree, i was just refering to the leather ss seats, since these are so much more than just seat covers...

I don't know if i'd want to do it for a living, it made my fingers and hands hurt like hell, pushing the creases in the seats and stuff. But overall the outcome is great, i bet you have some really happy customers. Thanks for the compliment.

They are the best! Way better than GM stock leather interior.

Looks great!! should have bolstered it while you had the covers off.
