I have a pair of 199o GTZ Seats in my GT, and I'm looking to see about covers for ‘em. They are in good shape, I’d just like to see about getting something that will cover the “blems” that they have, without having to spend $5oo.oo EACH for custom covers.

I have put out requests @ the Beretta boards, but they are as happening as a church on Monday morning….

< insert crickets chirping here >


So, off to PFF for all the answers…Where do you go for off the wall seat covers?
Here are II pics of the seats to show what I'm talking about, as they are not even close to anything that I can find @ the local Auto Zone or Pep-Boys…

Thanx in advance;
--Allen

I don't think that I've ever seen seats anything like those before. Good luck.

Ive always liked the GTZ/Z26 seats. I however think you will have to use a custom apolstery shop to make covers for them though.

They look good in the pics though. Do they fit with the center console installed?

Someone posted it earlier in a car cover thread. They show covers for the GTZ but the covers are not considered slip-on.

Yea, bummer. They have them listed as requiring professional install only.

Im going to be looking here locally to see if there is another place can do something about 'em.

Anybody else have any ideas?

If the price is good though, installing seat appolstery is not rocket science! A trip to Tractor Supply for some hog rings and the hog ring pliers, a can of spray on 3m adhesive, and some elbow grease and your done.

While I bet that you are correct, I'd really like to see this turn out for the best....

Im not a professional, and I'd like to see professional looking seats...

Yet I'd prefer not to pay the professional pricing, if I dont have to...

Yes, they fit very well in the car. I personally love the seats, I'd just like to get 'em covered so that the stains and what not are gone for good. As for the center console, there is no issue at all when installed. Really looks great when it's all put togeather.
