Default Seat resto..

Nice job! Leather..I presume..hopefully! (crosses fingers). Were you able to salvage the headrest speaker set up...heard, back in the day, that it was a pretty kewl option on those cars....Thanks and again, great job! Joe!

Nice looking job, love the cream leather, post some pics of them in the car when you have fitted them. The transformation is incredible

Wow!!! What a difference. Those should look really nice in your car. Make sure to post some pics when you get them installed.

I just bought a set of Fireo seats last week to do the same thing. My wifes 79 has the Oyster interior. Is that the actual color code on your seats and who did them? I like the crossed flags very nice!

Wow that looks great! I love the cream color! I've heard before of actually using seats from a C4 and refurbing them to put in a C3. Anyone done this?

Nice looking seat but how hard are they to install in a C3? Seat mounts? How much for replacement foam and leather covers? Springs? Really need to see a pic of them in car to see how they fit.

They are as close as possible to the oyster white that i could find .And it's a exact match with the rest of the interior. they are vinyl but you could sware they are leather .For the cross flag i send two pieces of that vinyl to have the cross flag stiched and brouth them back to the custom shop who did my seats. For the track it's a piece of cake ,just welded a piece of 1/4 steel of 3x3 inch on each end of the track ,because the new seats have the mounting bolt closer than the corvette one .
