Default Seat Cover Vendors and Pricing

Hi all,

I'm looking for new seat covers as my old ones are worn out. This is for a '99 C5, sports seats in light oak. Here's a summary of my research.

Does anyone have another vendor to add to the list? I recall pre-pandemic there was a lady who ran her own business making seat covers, but not sure if she's still in business.

Can anyone recommend any particular vendor? Good or bad experiences?



NB the "total" column is not an apples-to-apples comparison, just the sum of all options the vendors offer.

Angus

If you can live without the Corvette logo and text on the seat, Ridies is hard to beat for quality.
I recently ordered a set of full napa leather, perforated sport set same as what I think you have listed.
Just got started on the install, but the quality of the leather and stitching looks great.

Also FWIW, I believe Interior Innovation is the same company as Ridies...

If your budget allows, Apsis does seat covers for the C5.

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. Ridies seems like a good bet.

How did the color match compared to the original seats, or the examples shown on Ridies' website? I'm would like to stick with the light oak on mine, but their color swatch online looks quite different to what I thought light oak looks like. I figure that portraying color accurately on computer screens is difficult and that they do match the original colors, but may need to get sample.

Does anyone have a photo of Ridies seat cover in light oak?

Got the swatches. "Light Oak/Cashmere" is the best match for C5 Corvette Light Oak.

Ordered a set with perforated Nappa leather, seat inserts and their 4-piece kit for the shift boot etc. Let's see how it goes.

Mine were from Interior Innovations. They were custom made to order and shipped from Pakistan. Synthetic leather. Was pleasantly surprised with the quality and would recommend them.

When the sun comes out I'll take a picture of my Interior Innovations light oak seat covers. Very pleased with the fit and quality, price was extremely good.

Received the seat covers, foam and 4-piece kit. The covers look high quality and smell great, although of course will have to wait and see how they fit. Will update once fitted.

I bought these from Ridies to replace my light oak covers. I just wanted something a little different.
