Hey all!

I installed some Interior Innovations set covers in the C5 and must say I'm impressed with the quality and the finish of them. I started with the passenger seat and used the Vette Essentials page as a guide for the installation. Although somewhat intimidating at first, it really was not that bad to do, but I'm slow and methodical.
Had a little surprise when it came time to do the driver side. Had no idea the bolster was broken until I tore it apart. Hada video of the broken blister but no pic. Video would not attach. Thanks to my good and most talented friend Jeff, it is repaired and will never break again, thank you! I repaired some foam tears, built up the base with some rigid foam and strong fabric to keep the seat bottom's shape, and installed the covers. The seat repair kit was not available in Canada when I sourced my parts, so I shopped at a fabric store and got all my own pieces.
I think it looks great, feels even better 👍

I'm seriously considering doing the same on my C5 this winter. I need the Sport Seat version and noticed they cannot do the Vette flags and name stitching currently. Anyhow the product looks good and your pics help to explain what's involved. Is this Interior Innovations an American company and how long did it take for delivery. With foam looks like about $1000 US which by the time shipping, taxes and duty roll in will be fairly steep but probably worth it.

I've had them about 1.5 years and never got to the install till Covid. Definitely some positives to isolation...
Interior Innovations sells on Amazon, Ebay nd direct I believe. I reused my old foam and repaired where it needed doing. 3M spray adhesive is a wonderful easy to use product. I decided to try this company based on forum reviews and pics. Lots of armchair critics will tell you to run from it, but I can almost guarantee they've never seen the product, or if they did it was a poor installation. One thing I did do was invest in a fabric steamer which allows to foam to expand back its original size, but if you're getting new foam, you don't need that.
Good luck with yours, and yes I had a quick look, they don't seem to have the same style as I have at the moment.

Their covers start at plus 300 CAD on amazon.ca for synthetic FYI, and obviously leather is higher
