Hey guys my 69's front split bench needs a new cover but i can't seem to find any that match the originals. My rear seat is fine so i dont want to switch materials or color. i think they are black parchment vynl(kinda looks like leather) with a bluish/gray fabricer in between. sorry no pics. i was reading other post about seat covers but everbody seems to switch to a solid collor or leather. :( Do Legendary or PUI produce those and if so how can i make sure i order the right ones the pics on legendar looked the same to me. (hmm may be im color blind:D) thanks for the help.:thumbsup:

What does your trim tag have for the code? Wherever you buy the material, they will need to know specifics.

Um... what exactly or where would the tags be?

i think they are black parchment vynl(kinda looks like leather) with a bluish/gray fabricer in between.
First of all, there's no such thing as "black parchment vinyl" seat covers from the factory :noway: You can have black seat covers, or you can have parchment (pearl white) seat covers. And, if your seats have fabric in between sections of vinyl, then you have what's commonly known as 'cloth' seat covers - and the factory didn't offer cloth seats in the Parchment color. So, you really do need to know what your Trim Tag says if you're wanting to go with an OEM type interior. Both cloth and vinyl seat covers are readily available in OEM patterns and colors, from several different manufacturers.
