Default New Seat Covers

I was curious if anyone had bought Seat covers or other interior products from DJ Motorsport Accessories out of Texas?

The driver seat cover and cushion in my c5 are worn and need replaced. I priced seat covers vette essentials, but unfortunately I have not been able to save enough to buy the covers from them. I'd like to have the
seats recovered before I pull the car out for the driving season.

Any advise or experience you share about DJ Motorsport would be appreciated before I buy these parts would be appreciated.

Tim

I don't recall any bad things being said about the covers you are looking at - they seem to fit fine and look very good and are priced much less than a Vette Essentials set.

I went with Vette Essentials on my current car because I had them in my '00 and absolutely loved them.

Did you have a auto upholstery do the work or was it done yourself?

I will be have them installed while putting in heated seat pads.

Thanks for the info. I would love to install the set from vette essentials but with only 2 -2.5 months left till the roads are clear to pull her out I am running out of time to save the money.

It's a shame to have to put the car away for 3 months and just go out and look at her in the garage.It's like a long distance relationship.You can talk to her but no touching until the time is right.

I did the work myself I have a good friend that works at a shop. He let me use his stuff to do the rings. I pulled the old off and sold them on here. I just wanted more color in the car. Really not that bad to do I did it over the weekend part time.

I bought mine from DJ Motorsports last year. Best bang for the buck in my opinion.
