Default Got My Iggees!

I finally ordered a set of Iggee seat covers and put them on this afternoon. They fit pretty nice and look great. I took the seats out to swap the driver's side cushions over to the passenger side. I think I sit 6" higher now . The covers come folded so the photo doesn't look the greatest. I'm sure the wrinkles will come out in a few weeks or I may hit them with a blow dryer.

I also wanted to clean out under the seats.....you can see why in the pics.....21 years of crud
$3+ in change
2, 10+ year old stale Marlboros
1 lighter
1 roll electrical tape
3 used .223 shells

Looks like the carpet cleaned up pretty good, I bet the clean carpet and new seat covers make a remarkable difference! Great Job
Looks nice. How about some pics when you get the seats back in.

Target practice from a Vette? Better than on skis. New Olympic Sport? Nice seat upgrade!

I'm impressed. Big improvement for not too much money.

Mental note, don't buy a used Vette from a smoker!

Especially the casings!
Seat covers look great BTW!

Nice job! I have Iggee seatcovers myself, the creases vanished within a few days. They fit tighter too. Good luck!

Vette-athalon I bought the car from my dad about 8 years ago and he used to shoot high powered rifles, so the casings probably fell out of his gun bag. Didn't find any 7.62's though.

I don't even know anyone who smokes Marlboros. Though most of the crud was dirt and grease from the seat motor.

Yeah, these were desperately needed. Never heard of Iggee seat covers before this forum. I'm pretty happy with them. Pic with the seats installed.

That is a substantial improvement. I think I'll have to get some at some point.
