Looking for seat cover and foam options for my black 1999 ss with beige interior. Anyone have any experience/recommendations?
I've look for 3 yrs for replacement foam and no one makes it. I ended up getting aftermarket seats because the cost to have a shop make them and recover came up to the sames as the seats. easy decision for me. plus the Braum A1 seats are just so comfortable and chef's kiss in looks compared to stock steats.
I was hoping to retain factory look. Do those seats work with your wiring so that power seats are still functional? Do you have a picture of how it looks in your car?
I Appreciate your response, thanks!
Not in the slightest bit. They are a non-power seat. You will need to fab something up to get them to mount to the stock rails or get a mount that will work but I still had to modify and fab up something to get it to sit right for me. I'm 5'8 and the only mount that I found that would work put the seat way to close for me. I can't imagine a taller person ever being able to use that rail mounts that were suggested to be used. The issue is the rails they recommend only slide about 4-5 inches.
To retain the factory look you probably will need to talk to an upholstery shop. I'll have to get a pic and post.
If the problem with the foam is that its been compressed/worn down, most interior shops can add foam to “rebuild” the seat cushion to its (more or less) original level of size and cushioniness. These days, I think it would probably be under $200.00 to do the two front seats (it cost me about $75.00 to get both done about 8 years ago).Quote:
