The fit is real tight. The leather is a cowhide tougher style. Not 100 % happy with them but hate the look of the scrotum look covers sold by dmc. So for me these where a good compromise. Covers were 350. Install was 400. I was qouted 1200 by dmc so this route saved me about 450 bucks . Be forewarned if you order from l seat expect zero customer service and about 1.5 to 2 months delivery time. But for the price these covers are great . And my car looks a hell of a lot better then before. If you like a real supple leather don't buy these. If you want a more durable longer lasting style leather then these are good for that.

Good description, thanks. Real tight vs supple. Glad you said that. I wouldn't have assumed that just looking at the pics. If I changed anything on my car, it would be more the soft/supple variety than anything else. Can't really justify a change for how much it would cost, Canadian exchange rate on top of it all. My seats are fine as is for the time being.

Amen to that. Someone re-did them before I got the car back in 2007. Never had to fuss with them. One of the few areas on the car I DIDN'T have to suffer through... sort of. PO never bothered to reinstall the slide release bars when finished, so day one with my car left me thinking I couldn't fit in it... being tall and with seats that weren't able to go back all the way. Julee managed to find me a used pair of the bars off a parts car and then I was good to go

Made a cool discovery today thanks to Dimitri the Bluetooth radio repair guy on here from France.


That vin is owned by his budy. It's 2707 and is 1 car newer then mine on the assembly line. Black interior 5 speed. It was ironically found in a barn in Texas 05 ish (mine in a barn in Georgia 16) and he has been restoring it in France ever since. It was also in the same rough condition mine was. Apparently the delorean gods were not kind to these 2 August builds but hey atleast they both were covered in a barn . His engine was toast to so he swapped in a Renault 25 prv. It is cool to see 2 sister cars both saved from certain death and with similar backgrounds.

Also sent Rob Grady an angle drive today for a rebuild to fix my Speedo that stopped working on the drive from Chicago. Wanna have that bugger up and operational for the driving season.
