2017 Camaro Oem SS cloth seats vs Lt leather seats

Lperson · 03-05-2026, 10:00 AM

Are the Oem SS and Lt seats the same size? Can you take a Leather Seat Cover from a Lt seat and install on SS seat?

Yes

the wiring is funky, you need to search for the recent post.

the real question is: if you have a cheaper car, how hard is it to swap out the HVAC head unit so you have the heated/cooled seat controllers on the dash?

i have the cloth seats, and was looking hard at some ZL1 seats, but the consensus is that the ZL1 seats are very stiff and uncomfortable, and my camaro is already uncomfortable with the tight knee in the "cockpit" and the seats not reclining.

and in the sun, cloth does not get as hot as leather, so for my convertible, i think i am sticking with the cloth for now. YMMV if you have a hard top

Yes, they fit. You do not have to change any wiring if all you are doing are the seat covers. But, if you upgrade door cards, lighting, heated seats, then yes wiring needs to be changed.

Lots of hog rings. I changed the skin on my SS with one that was just like it. Getting the headrest out was the most annoying part.
Just get a decent amount of hog rings or replace them with zipties.

I never even thought of zip ties. I ran out of rings doing mine and had to wait on new rings to arrive to finish.

Zipties give you a little more options, you can get really long ones and have all of them in but not pulled snug, then align everything as you snug them. Just have to give yourself room to clip them.
