Has anyone seen or used these seat covers?

Chevy Camaro 1994 95 96 97 2003 Vinyl Custom Seat Cover | eBay

They look to be really good for the price. The lack of website and odd description concerns me though. I was just quoted $1500 to do mine at the local upholstery shop so I am looking at other options. Anyone know if hawk's does custom colors on there covers?

What's the odd description, this? "Chevy Camaro 1994-2003 Custom Made Seat Covers".
I wonder what you'd get if you order a set for an 03? And no 93 either?

They have good feedback. They accept returns. Since they are all custom made, I don't think they put a lot of thought in the description. Just be sure to state what year your car is when/if you order,

Where did yours come from craby? Are they just pull overs or hog ringed? They look nice.

For around $600 you could buy a complete set of leather seats from a low miles car.

Yeah, but he'll also end up paying another $150 minimum for shipping. At that rate, might as well let your local upholsterer recover your seats. Raider, is that local guy using leather or GOLD? I had a guy here in the SFV quote me $425 to redo the front seats in "leatherette." Leather was double and IMHO, not worth the extra $$. Search around because your dude's prices are higher than he is. That's as bad as the guy charging $1k for his vinyl reproductions on ebay.

For $195 you're gonna spend on covers, I'd be looking at racing seats on ebay. Unless you're into having that completely stock look, you might be better off. The stock seats absolutely suck anyway.

By the way, the same company makes covers for my GXP and I've thought about them. They have great feedback. If you decide to go that route, let us know how you like them.

I love my stock leather seats. I think they look better than anything else. They also have given me comfort when spending hours in the car. When I get out, I'm not soar in the least. I'm going to install new foam and get the original cover material to make my seat like new. The other seats are still like new.

That add says that shipping is free. If you do get a set write a review. Might get some myself.
