How do the Repo Black Vinyl Seat Covers Look?

Anyone use one of these covers (1972 Version) when you reupholstered your seat? How do they look compared to the originals. Does the scrollwork and stitching look correct?

Here's an old pic I scanned with the original cover in my 72.



I don't remember where I picked up my repro cover but I've been pleased with it.



You can kinda see the grain in this pic.

I want to order a seat cover today, so this is good timing! Anyone else have LMC or suggestions within the same price range?

See ten, thanks for the pic. Looks great; did you buy a new foam when it was redone?.

Are they all about the same, or is any one manufacturer better than the other?

I didn't buy new foam but I think the installer added some before he put the cover on.

Re: How do the Repo Black Vinyl Seat Covers Look?

Remember that there are two different styles of bench seats. The custom and the standard. The standard has springs in the front, the custom has the full pad in the front.
Much more comfortable and they look much better when recovered.
