great idea but include where you got them and price if you know and direct fit. this way everyone is not asking the same question.
standard 4th gen swap ebay purchase belive they are out of a 92

Recently I installed the following custom upholstery.
The front and rear seats are now Blue and Silver (To match the exterior of the car) as well as custom, digitized embroidered "Z28" in Blue w/ silver outlining, and "25th Anniversary" in red on the front seats.
Took over 20 hours (Sat & Sun) for me to remove the seats from the car, remove the old upholstery (factory light grey "p"leather), install the new custom leather upholstery, hog ring, cut out holes for screws, bolts, headrest, etc, and take lots of pictures along the way.
I am doing a complete review on the seats which is why all the pics were necessary and why it took so long. After much aching hands, fingers, back, cuts.. finally got them installed and into the car.
Here are some pics of them in the car. Note: These are not the best quality. They were taken during sundown and I've yet to have been able to take good pics when it's sunny (always raining on the weekend).
The blue on the seats might look shiny but that is because of the flash on the camera reflecting. Just letting you know since people are accusing me of painting for the seats, or they are too glossy.. ;-)
Personally I am very happy with the results. Definately looking forward to going to the next bunch of car shows next year. :-)

Xilr8n 91 Z28, how do those seats feel? do they feel a little wide, or are they snug. also, how is the material quality? can you easily tell it's not leather?

They fit real snug, and feel awesome. They definitely hold me much better than my stock seats when taking turns. The material feels alot like leather and I havent had a single person yet ask me if they were vinyl (which they are ) But for what i paid for them, i am extremely happy. Very nice fit and finish

I have the recaro sports and they are extremely comfortable too,except mine are suede dark black and jersey silver inlet. these seat are rare+plus i got both for $857.00 which is cost. I will post pick sooon they are difficult to install because you need to make your own brackets.

those recaros are verry nice..
The summit seats are nice for the price. The only thing I dont like about them is the backrest doesnt really have that great a pad. and its uses velcro to hold it in place on the bottom.
Ive been thinking about selling my 4thGen leather and going aftermarket

VERY Nice! Where did you get those? How much did they cost? Was this a complete tear down and install (hog ring, etc)?
