DJ Motorsports here as well, $758 for the whole package and 2 new cushions! 100% soft leather, A friend of mine had Vette Essentials do his for around $2700, he's pissed because my leather is just as nice and soft as his!

Would love to hear back from DJ motorosport or c5seats.com Been trying
to buy seat covers and I can't get anyone to answer a phone call or email. If anyone knows any other vendor selling seat skins for a c5 in the 700- 1000 range please let me know. Money is burning a whole in my pocket.

I used to buy all of my tops through Al Knoch and have installed many over the years with factory results ,then I got two different tops from him that were cut too short. I called him and talked directly to Al and the man was ignorant . He swore that they just needed stretched . I am totally familiar with stretching tops , but you don't stretch a top 1-1/2 inches. He absolutely refused to do anything about it and continued to say that I didn't know how to install tops. I have owned a restoration shop and been doing this for over forty years. Buy your tops through Robbins. They are absolutely the best. And with Knoch seat covers it is hit and miss. Some are good , some are very bad.

I was told the side wings are vinyl but the seat centers are leather.
