      NEW Recaro LS in my RagTop

      So my wife has heard me lament how uncomfortable the factory seats were in my Camaro, today she unknowingly is sitting in my new seats and says "This car is really comfortable to ride in, these seats aren't bad at all." I tried my best to keep a straight face, but just couldn't do it.:D What I also like is the subtle appearance with these seats in the car, they appear period correct. I'm very happy with the seats, kudos to Ron at "JJ Custom Interiors" in Washington state. I also had the factory steering wheel wrapped in leather, have never liked how "thin" it felt and how slippery it could be in the heat of the sun.

      Very nice seats. I really like the look of the seats that Ron recovers based on all the pictures I've seen on various forums. I've been trying to contact him a few times over the past 6 months but have yet to get a call back. How long did it take you to get the seats?

      Too long, but in all honesty he had some bad health issues first part of this year. I'm happy I waited though, give him a call and ask him directly yourself is about the best I can tell you.
      I did speak with Ron today, he said email is the best way to get hold of him.

      I've been a fan of his for years, those turned out nice! I talked to Ron a couple weeks ago about recovering my LS's. Is that leather or the synthetic leather he has listed on his site? I was trying to find someone local, but I'm going to follow my first mind on this one and let him do mine.

      Ron's work (or should I say his wife's work ) is just stunning. The details are better than any other I have seen. Stitching is very well done. And they are willing to do lots of custom stuff.

      I just picked up my LX seats from him a few weeks ago for my Camaro.

      Both look great guys. He's going to make my jackets and I'm sending the headrests and inserts for him to recover. I'll put everything back together myself.

      guys who have used Ron at JJ, i have tried calling and emailing a bunch of times and never got a hold of him. His work is spectacular but is he reliable with his turn around times? I honestly do not want to wait months for seats that totally is not an option which is why I am searching for a local shop out my way, at least i can keep on them if it is taking too long. I hate to ship seats to the West Coast and have some fiasco waiting.

      These seats are spectacular! I just sent them an email requesting a quote for a set Recaros and recovering the rear seat.

      As Jon69RagTop pointed out, mine took a long time. Granted he did have health issues. Either way they took way to long. But for me it was worth the wait. I don't know who else would do this quality work for his price. One option, Ron has a lot of seats in stock. Maybe you could have him build one of his sets, then when they are finished you can send back your seats as cores. Probably save you $300-400.

      I find that calling him works best. Even then, communication can be a challenge.

      Hey Jon69RagTop, could you repost a picture of your seat? Very interested to see what it looks like. The other seat shown looks amazing.
