I have replaced mine. Order on line from Iggie. Get you some of the round key rings you can buy from just about anywhere and tie all your straps together under the seat. Order from Iggie and you will not be disappointed.

Almost all fractory seat covers come from Corvette America. however you can beat prices by looking at Ecklers, Corvette Central etc, factor in the parts needed eg my seats are sport and required replacment of air pump, lumbar air bladder and seat switches. You can mount the seats yourself or negotioate a price with local auto seat shop. Good luck this requires patience do not expect to do this in one weekend. Do the passenger seat first then drivers seat.

We have been checking into seat covers, have been advised not to buy until we can get the leather.
Some have told us color came off onto their clothing in the summer time with the "fake leather", esp. the red colored ones. We also were told to have an upholsterer put them on for us unless we knew how to do it. So we will wait till we can get leather and have someone who knows how to do it put them on for us.
