I like these (without the red stripe across the seat bottom). I had thought about how I could add just a hint of red into my all black interior (I have a triple black convertible) and this would be perfect. I just can't justify replacing my covers, yet. Looks great, nice job.

Agree with the others! Very nice look for someone who wants just a touch of an accent color since I'm sure you can do this in about any thread color available.

We have about 100 different different thread colors available to us, so we can match pretty much anything that you want in stitching.

Great looking seat covers and I like the red strip on the bottom covers.

Very nice, these I like. I have the sport seats in black leather with purple stitching and I've been thinking about adding the C5 logo or maybe a custom logo to the headrest of the back halo part of the covers. If I sent you some pictures of the thread color and maybe an idea of what to put on them would I be able to purchase just that part of the cover or would I have to buy a whole new set? I just replaced them a little bit ago so I can't justify buying a new set yet. Send me a PM if you'd like and maybe a price of what it would ballpark cost.

Thanks for the super quick PM.

These look nice. In reviewing the website offerings, how does the center console leather cover fit? Does it replace the existing console or does the leather stretch over the console?

In terms of leather, however does this leather compare with Vette Essentials and other providers? The top picture appears to be from a different C5 than the bottom two pictures and it seems the leather in the first picture is tighter than the bottom two convertible pictures.

My question is. Are these before you had to stop embroidering the emblems and lettering. Because I would buy from you all in a heartbeat if you were able to do the embroidery.

Yes center console cover is also a replacement cover. You remove the old center console cover and put new one on.
We can't comment on the other company's leather quality, but you can read their reviews and our reviews on this forum. We can tell you that we have the top quality leather and you won't find better quality and price anywhere else.

Thanks

My '99 has all Ridies leather, including shift boot, console cover and sunvisors. I have nothing but good to say about the product, the workmanship and the price. My installer was very pleased with the fit and finish (see photos) and when he installed the black vinyl wrap on the tonneau cover and waterfall he mentioned it was a "tight" combination (installer talk...). Unfortunately, I think I was one of the last few that had the C-5 logo embroidered and I am sorry to see that part of the manufacturing process no longer available! Keep on GM, Ridies!!

Thanks. So in answer to the other post, you no longer offer the C5 Logo or Corvette lettering as a result of licensing issues with GM? I know that was an issue with other vendors a few years back.

Wow, you have a beautiful ride. And the covers look amazing too. Very nice job at the installation there.
Thank you sir for your impressive review. We really appreciate it. I will make sure to pass this info to rest of the team as well.
