Replacement seat cover opinions
I'm on a budget..read retired. Have been researching seat covers for awhile. Prices are up there for sure. Found these foam padded vinyl alternatives. I know we get what we pay for. The price on these on closeout are 249.00 for the pair. Anyone have any first hand experience with these? The logos are embroidered. Will be doing the work myself with all new foam no problem. Luckily all the bladders are good.

They look good for that price, but whatever you do, change your bladders and air lines!!! I just had my cover off the drivers side to repair a tear in the vinyl. The bladders haven't inflated for some time. I saw why when the cover was off. The lines weren't even attached any more. Totally crumbled at the attachment points. C&S has new re-pop bladders for a reasonable price. No point in going to all that work, and having to take your new cover back off. Just the extra stress on the old lines and bladders, by removing, then reinstalling the new covers, may be enough to crumble them. My .02.....

Thanks. I had my cover's off to re enforce the foam and the bladders and lines had been replaced

Looks like I have the same set of covers. I put them on in 2014 for the same price. They still look great. I use the Corvette to go to the park for running miles and I sweat like a pig. Wipe down with a damp cloth and they good for a night on the town.
When mounting them the hair dryer is your best friend to stretch and smooth wrinkles.
This could be the time to add seat heaters! I did and I love them! Good for those winter mornings going to the park and the cold sweaty ride home.

Your seat heaters must've come with some sort of off/on switch. Is there a range of adjustment, like a Hi/Low switch, or???

Hard to comment on the quality or fit of those covers, but they do look good and the price is certainly reasonable. If you go for it, post up some pics after the install and how the install went.
