    Seat Covers

    Who here is NOT a fan of the DMCH seat covers? I don't think the ruffled leather look suits the car nearly as much as the tighter stock leather. Maybe I'm the only person who is bothered by this but personally, for whatever reason, the seats have been one of the aesthetic draws of the DeLorean, for me. Does anyone else feel this way or am I alone on this one?

    To the contrary, the ruffled look IS the stock appearance ala 1981. The tighter look is the result of aging. You aren't alone in your preference though. If your open for the two-toned seats with perforated leather, it is not rippled.

    Really?! I must say that I didn't know that. Even the BTTF ones in the movie (1985) had the tighter leather. But, if it IS stock, I guess you can't complain.

    Well, your interior certainly looks great. The seat covers aren't bad, but they do look like "seat covers". Most people wouldn't have any idea, though.

    Personally, I really like DMCH's seat skins. I think the "ruffled" look you refer to is called supple.
    eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

    here are a few quick shots of my houston covers. I installed them myself, and love the way they look. Like everyone has said, The gathered leather in the center is the way the seats looked new.

    You don't have to buy the seat covers for that, especially this time of year.
