Agree, with the majority, no with the diamond pattern.

Love the work - as usual. Make a cool racing seat, why don't you? The diamond pattern is not for me.

We do plan to do a racing seat later on. Actually the diamond pattern is not much of my style eighter, but since we had to do the test, we decided to try it. I can tell you that it looks very different in person than the pictures. Ive been thinking of making two sets, one with diamond pattern and one without. This was an extra pair of seats I bought so I am still keeping the current ones.

The diamond pattern without the contrasting colors, looks better, I think - at least from some of the other pics in the thread. Honestly, you should approach GM about doing their 4LT for them! Your stuff is better than theirs!

I like it but I agree with the majority, a little too much of the old school look. I think your on the right track. Maybe a diamond pattern in the same colored stiching?

I really like the buffed up side bolsters . But the diamond pattern reminds me of a retro look that doesn't fit the C6 bodystyle. However, some of the C2/C3 guys might love it.

I can appreciate the work that went into this, but unfortunately the diamond pattern (on all of the examples) just isn't doing it for me either.

I do not like the Diamond look on the seat back with the colored stiching.
It may look ok with the same color stiching so it does not stand out as much

They look like quality seating. For me, the answer would be NO.
