How was your overall experience with them? I have eyed that vendor for sometime on ebay and their own website.

Is that the "light gray" leather they offered that you have?

I have replaced leather skins on 3 prior vettes and they all had wrinkles at first. After sitting in the sun, the car will heat up and the leather will tighten up. They have already tighten up with just one day of 70 dgree weather. I will post picks in a few weeks. Here is a pick of the last vette I had after I replaced the leather skins.
The fitment is great so im not judging your work but that color scheme is terrible. A few red accents here and there such as stitching would be great but thats just way too much. Itll great in a 15 year olds Honda Civic though.


Anyways, cant wait to see the pics in a few weeks. My driver seat has a 3 inch rip and I may need these in the future.

The camera plays tricks on the real look. The interior on the vette is not that bright in real view. The flash seems to make it stand out so much more than it really is. Same with the pics in the Z. the light gray is darker in person and blends better overall when looking in the car without a flash from the camera. By the way, the vette has won over 20 trophies in car shows all over the south east. Several trohies were for best interior.
