Re: ne one have custom leather?

I have a custom leather interior in my 94. (leather was not an option until late in 94) The original owner had it dealer installed new, but the drivers seat bolster was worn from 10 years of use when I got it. I contacted the vendor and had them send me new drivers and passenger covers. $270.00 each seat. The back seat still looked like new, so I left it.

I ordered the kit from Classic Soft Trim and am very happy with it. They recommended an installation center to do it for me, but I told them to just send me the covers and I'd do it myself. I have some pictures of the installation process HERE . It was pretty easy. The leather was freshly installed in the picture and the wrinkles had not had a chance to relax yet. They are pretty much gone now.... like any other leather seat.

I have custom leather seats in my Camaro. I bought mine from LeatherSeats.com and I couldn't be happier.

Re: ne one have custom leather?

I'm going to be looking into changing my interior to leather in the near future as well. What I want is a 02 35th anniv. style (black with grey inserts) and then buy some 30th anniv. emblems from brent and put them on the head rests, and in the middle in the back.

What about this leatherette stuff? Has anyone had experience with it? Is it crap compared to real leather?
