Thinking of this vs 100 % leather (which will be twice the cost) vs this...any thoughts?

I have never dealt with them. I believe I have heard positive comments about them.

The seats look great. I would save my money. JMHO!

I'm going for 100% deuts of italian leather.
It also depend on the state of your vette, if the vette is an average one and you don't intend to improve it but just drive it then way go for expensive leather?

I think that people always look at the outside of a car but when you drive it your (hopefully) always inside. So for me the most important parts to maximize the driving experience are the thinks closest to me (dash, seats etc) These are for me more important then for example balljoint strutrods.

I purchased my mounted seat covers from Wilcox. The carpet came from Wilcox as well. They are a great company!

FYI- the seat covers are made by Corvette America... just sold at a reasonable price.

Lance,

Have you decided on 2" or 4" bolster? The reason I ask is I know quite a few folks that got the 4" bolster and are not happy with them. The reason is the fit, most folks that got 4" bolster are ,,, how do I say this and be nice... bigger than they were when they were 20

You can measure you existing bolster, on the top secton of the seat, on the bolster (side panel of the seat) measure from the outside seam to the seam where it joins the very back of the seat. I think you'll find most are 2"

The 4" will either give you a snugger fit or be to tight and uncomfortable

The Willcox follks are good people. Why fool with ebay when you can drive across the river to their place? Go see 'em and talk shop.

We're not speaking from experience now are we Bud? Or are you just remembering me?

Maybe I am not understanding the bolster. Could someone please clarify it for me? It was my understanding that the 2" Bolster was on the older style seats up to part of 78's and the 4" bolster on the newer style from 78 up. Each seat was a different style. Am I understanding this wrong and you can use either one on the same seat frame?
