the microsuede is an alcantara type fabric, and the wear rating is over 100.000 martindales, in laymans terms that means that its its about the most durable furniture fabric money can buy.. so even if corbeau bought the low end microsuede it will still outlast the foam in the seat

the overall corbeau quality is also (or was last time i handled one) in the good end of the scale... so i wouldnt be at all worried about buying a pair.. but greasy hand prints are difficult to remove.. and they dont smell like leather :-)

I have a set of Corbeau Microsuede seats. I love them, and they get alot of looks too. I would suggest it to anyone who has the means for paying the price difference.

I have one in my show room and it is really nice. The gray is light gray though not quite like the pic. If you need a deal on some seats let me know. I'm a dealer for them.

i have alcantara seats in the lightning. they are very soft and confortable. the material does not wear even after 6yrs of DD every day. cleaning is easly BUT stains are hard to remove. i would not trade them for anythig else. i liked them so much i bought a set for the camaro.
