Good luck getting ahold of DJMotorsports. I tried numerous methods to contact them 2 months ago to order new skins, but to no avail. I decided that wasnt somebody I needed to do business with. To this day they havent responded to my PMs or E-Mails. I ended up getting skins from Interior Innovations, and they might supply foam too. If not look up Cultrag performance, they sell OEM parts and are a vendor (Interior Innovations is too).

In the past I have bought replacement foam from Vette Essentials. Top quality stuff at a reasonable price.

I have ordered things from these guys and they are pretty good. They offer a wide choice what the seat parts you need.

Bought my seat foam from VE as well...top notch quality.

Bought my covers from DJ - as noted above, can be very hard to communicate with - but I have been very happy with the covers.

I purchased seat foam for both my C4 and C5 from Corvette America. I am very happy with the firmness and ride.

They are also a forum vendor also. Good luck with your repair

Who is DJ? I'm wanting to get some of these seat covers as well. I have seen them on a site called Interior Innovations. Is that the same as DJ?

Don't even waste your time dealing with DJ Motorsports (who they refer to above as "DJ"). I wrote to them via PM and e-mail numerous times earlier this year and didn't hear anything. I don't know about other members on this board, but when I am spending $800+ on seat covers, I expect good customer service. I didn't have that feeling with DJ Motorsports, and judging by numerous other members' posts I've come across, it seems they had bad experiences as well.

Check at Interior Innovations, they're a vendor on here also. They're priced just below DJ Motorsports. Google them, they do 300ZX leather too. I just finished my interior renovation and was pretty impressed with their customer service, product, and turnaround time. I was surprised to see that their covers shipped to me direct from Pakistan, but they're still quality pieces and the leather is legitimate. Check it out below:

DJ Motorsports is in the Houston area if I recall correctly. Communication is not their strong suit...I will agree with that.

I discovered them about a month ago, and I'm impressed with their design variety, materials and prices. I've also found one in Britain that looks promising as well on eBay. I don't know the name though!
