It's been a couple years since I priced seat skins but $500 for the pair sounds like a really good price.

Just took my covers to be mounted and should have them in about 10 days. Shop is busy not that the covers are difficult to mount. They did a quick test fit and said everything looked good. They asked where I had gotten them. The shop also said the quality looked pretty good. Waiting on Eckler's to send a replacement seat back. Foam on the first one was pretty flimsy. Upholstery shop said they may increase the amount of foam under the cover and steam the cover to loosen it and then have it tighten up. The OEMs have done this for many years in skinning a seat.
BTW, does anyone have a seat bottom they don't need. I am looking for the clip that holds the bottom to the frame. Need both the wire and the clips. |

Dom, I've got two seats I just skinned for this project so yes, I've got seat parts. PM your address and I'll get them to you.
BTW, did you buy all new foam from Ecklers?

Thanks. Is the clip for retaining the seat bottom the same for 94 as a 90-93? Just need the wire clip and the "hinges" that hold it to the frame. I could take a pic if further clarification is needed. I bought new seat foam for the Driver side and got it from Eckler's. However, the seat back was shipped from Eckler's but the seat bottom had a Corvette America label on it. On the Pass. side, I got an NOS seat bottom from someone. I also got new seat straps from Corvette Central that I am adding to the existing straps, so 4 rather than 2 straps. |

Guys,
It looks as if the seat bottom from Corvette America DOES have the clip, so I won't be needing one. Thx for all the stepping up however. |

Anytime, Dom.
I'm having a hard time sourcing the seat foam set for the 94 Sport Seats. Anybody have a line on that? Plenty of standard foam sets out there but not the Sport seats.

All the places I know of only sell sport foam with leather

Yeah, that's what I'm coming across. WTH? Pulling the leather off of these 20 year old seats just destroys the foam.
