Leather is like 5 spoke wheels...nice but too common!:sleep:
Personally, I'd prefer cloth....if I could find it!
Do you know a source for oem look?

Mid America says no one reproduces C4 cloth interiors due toi the fact ther is no source for the actual material. I'm looking into reproducing them myself.

Sounds like you've got at least 2 customers if you reproduce the cloth :party:

I think a vette needs leather. All my vehicles have always had cloth, but I have found the sport seats in my car really comfortable. Takes a little more work to keep them in prime condition but i think its worth it.
