My 05 Z71 with only 65k miles needs a new leather upper and lower cover for the drivers side.
I seen some videos on how to do it I would like some vendor recommendations or the greater Atlanta area shops.
Thanks

The OEM one literally slips on and clips over. There real simple to change out. I would also buy the lower foam. You might need a spring repair kit too.
Check Ebay for example. The OEM ones are available from a few sellers but there not cheap. Around $400 for top and bottom set and the bottom seat Foam is $100.

haha that's what i thought. 
If you are willing to spend high dollars, katzkin.com is way to go. (I had them on 350z, it was awesome. I know my local toyota dealers uses them for new car like leather vinly option)
But cheaper way...I will keep my eyes on used leather seats off from local. It isn't easy to get OEM fits from replacing covers imo... unless you done this before.
..or you can put racing seats
Just my two cents... good luck

This guy is looking good. Pretty thorough as far as Vin No. & RPO confirmation.
