Any discounts available? I checked out a 69 SS with Year One seat covers. The only real difference from my original covers was the seat back vinyl was very flat. My original covers are raised slightly between the simulated seams. Almost a slight "tuck and roll" effect. The repo didn't have this. Anyone else notice this on repo covers?

Are you looking for buckets and what color?

I've noticed this on most repros, for 70 that is.

Both Distinctive & PUI covers have the 'flat' ribs for 1969 & 1970 Seat covers. :( :mad:
As far as i know, those are the only 2 MFGs of the repo covers. All the vendors carry one or the other of them.
OPG just started carying LEATHER covers, with the stock patterns made by distinctive, however i have not seen any pictures of them to know if they are the correct puffy ribs, or flat like the vinyl covers.
You could always have an upholstery shop sew in material to make the pleats on the aftermarket covers more puffy...

I would love to see them, slipping in the Chevelle with the smell of leather would be awesome :cool: Especially in stock looking material, do they list this on thier website?
