Wondering if there's any updated impressions of the leather seat covers from Interior Innovations? Definitely the time of year to "encourage" a new set of covers into place, just have to make the Big Decision. Thanks for any help with that

Mine just arrived, first impression, they look very nice and correct. I ordered mine black w/ black stitching.

Gonna do the reupholstry during the next months while the car is parked for the Winter.

Well, besides an occasional "moisturizing" treatment, real leather is just as easy to care for, but OTOH, cloth is just as practical, period-looking, and comfortable as leather.   I like my Eclipse cloth seats, even if some 'experts' comment about how crappy they are (because it's not leather, nor a racing seat.)

 

The only reason I would consider reupholstering my seats is because the seams are starting to pull apart, and you lose points in a judged show, and if the seat-guys can add a little foam to the sides you would be a bit better-kept when going through the twisties.

Really, when NVZ mentioned Interior Innovations, I thought he wanted to discuss new things to do wit the interior of the Zed, like a padded or leather dash cover,  or a redesigned centre console.

Here's pics of my seats. A local upholstery shop did them in black Ferrari leather with perforated leather inserts. They did them from scratch - no kit. 

Wow! very nice! I like the work they did and the rest of the car looks great too.... Curious about the door cards... Custom?

Is that a whole new brake handle, or just the plastic part?

The car is a 99% original survivor car. Not restored but "refreshed." I bought it from the original owner who bought it in Phoenix, Arizona in 1978! So its been here in the desert its entire life & not one speck of rust! The only notable exceptions to its originality are the leather seats & aluminum radiator - both easily reversible. Here's an engine pic.  But staying on the topic of leather seats - you will like them very much. It was well worth the money I spent.

Brake handle was like that when I bought it......so I don't know. The shifter knob is new - got it on eBay. Hard to find!
