Upgrading Factory Seats

[Interceptor5588]

Originally I was thinking of putting a set of new GTO seats in my 70 w/ red interior ( http://1badgto.com/fitting-modern-gto-seats.html ) but not sure about the flat new leather look. Has anyone tried installing new seat skins over modified seat foams on original bucket seats? I like the feel and support of new-car seats but also like to keep the traditional feel of OEM-type material. My back seat is original and I was considering cleaning and keeping it.


Another option would be to wrap the old seats in real leather, but again you would lose the OEM pattern look. In either case I have seen many guys do it in black or brown, but I'm thinking red may be a little trickier.




TMI is doing this for Chevelles ( http://www.tmiproducts.com/category/...les/chevrolet/ ) but nothing else yet, I was thinking of giving them a call.


Thoughts?
