Seat Covers: Seude, Superseude, or Microsuede? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

When I purchased my car it came with vented leather in light gray with black sides. It looks ok, but the Suede on the ZL1 looks much better. Also I am worried about staining the light gray leather.

So I an looking for opinions on the 3 Seude Look options I have found for seat covers. Other than price, I know very little about each as far as durability.

Genuine Suede will cost the most, about $1000 for all seats, headrest, and steering wheel. It looks great too!

Supersuede will cost about $600 for everything, and Microsuede about $400, and are made of polyester. From the tiny 150 pixel photos, I cannot really tell how it looks.

So I am seeking firsthand opinions as to the looks, reliability, pitfalls, and comfort of each to help make a decision as which to order.

Thanks,
Robert

Those Katzkins ones aren't real (cowhide) suede. They are Alcantara or microsuede. Real suede would be a disaster on car seats. The suede nap would wear off very fast, and they would be very hard to keep clean. None of the "suede" in car interiors is "real suede". There would be no point, since Alcantara or microsuede is cheaper, more durable, and more consistent.

Going just by looks the katzkins for sure. Those others do not look good at all in my opinion.

I like the light gray leather. You might consider these to prevent those embarrassing stains: http://www.totalhomecaresupplies.com...FRSVMgodZl4A-g
