LeatherSeats.com

I have a 1994 Black Camaro with ZR1 replicas, a vfn four inch cowl induction hood and a wings west W-Type ground effects and I now need some leather seats. I've heard nothing but good things about LeatherSeats.com and I was just wondering what color combination everyone thought I should get. I'm thinking with just going with black for a nice clean look and then I'll add some white face gauges.

Any help would be appreciated.

So I take it you would recomand LeatherSeats.com?

If I do order from LeatherSeats.com I'll also order a new shift boot and one for my parking brake so everything'll match.

How long did it take to get your seat covers after your ordered them?

I also have a custom interior from www.leatherseats.com I highly recommend them!

If I remember right, it took me like 10 days to get everything from leatherseats.com. They are great to work with. They answered all my questions and sent me a bunch of pictures to help me with my ideas.

If you are going to go with black, check with Tom Byrne first. He had a brand new set of black leather from www.leatherseats.com that he had bought from them and decided he wanted to do a different color combination. He might still have them.

Also, keep in mind that Black is going to be darker than the interior of your car. You might want to have them send out some color samples to be sure you get what you want.

I think you should consider just getting some GM covers, They are $500 (cheaper) and i think they look really good. I don't know about this leater seats.com they look like they are a pain in the *** to install. have any of you guys installed them yourselves?

I would highly recommend buying from leatherseats.com, call up and ask for Jeremy, he has done buisness with alot of members from the board. WhoBetter how do you figure they are $500 cheaper? The kits cost $676, when I was looking the OEM covers were way more money!!! Maybe your thinking 500 for one cover, the 676 includes all the seats and material for covering the door panels. I installed the seats myself and it was extremely easy. I did all four seats in a day and I've no prior experience. I found the door panels more difficult so I gave them to a professional. Personally I think they look alot better then OEM covers, you can get them in two-tone colors that the factory doesn't offer. Also the seats are higher quality then the factory covers. I also made a few quick little pages from my install, if you want I can send them to you.

Stock seat covers are $500 from gm ($176 cheaper) and they are damn good quailty and you can get them in 3 colors that do match the interior. plus they are better designed and eaiser to put on. And BTW i'm sick of you bragging about your go to hell seats.

I talked to Jeremy Friday and am ordering new leather for my TA. I'd rather spend more money than buy some **** poor replacements from GM, and the fit is the same from what my friends have experieced. With leatherseats.com you can really customize though, and, it's a much better quality of leather than the factory CRAP GM uses. I can't wait to get mine installed, it's going to look great!!!

Thanks everyone, I really apreciate your input. I've decided to order them tomorrow (Monday May 05). My hood and gfx are getting installed in about ten days so I'll be able to really customize my Camaro in a short amount of time. Thanks again.

Ok again are you sure that its $500 for all 4 seatcovers and material to cover the door panels (I would like to know this b/c I think I got a good deal, when I inquired about GM covers that was close to the price for just one cover). 2nd i'm sorry that your mad about my seats, I don't brag about them, I only answer questions that others ask If you like the OEM factory covers better then good for you; you should be satisfied with your interior and won't have to do any work. I put ALOT of hard work and time into my interior and i'm proud of it so when others ask I am more then happy to answer questions.

don't take my comments seriosly, Yeah GM covers are $500, that's the option cost on a new car and that's what they sell for on GM 's site, ofcourse that doesn't include the door panels.

You've got to admit, there are people on here that will brag about their cars everyday.

Have you decided on a color ?
If you havent I think black with red or silver stiching would look sweet

I made the order today, Jeremy was extremely helpful. I ordered all black with a more stock apperance like Marky82, Ernster500 has the gathered look which I personally didn't want. I also order a black leather shift boot to match. I'll make sure to post pictures as soon as they're installed.

Thankst Ernster500 and Marky82 for the pictures and help.
