Default Another set of Daytona seats

We just finished these seats for a customer in Texas. He sent us his seats and we turned them around in 3 days and shipped them back.

What's the current turn-around time for your d-bottom steering wheels for an 07 Z06?

Wow, three day turn around. Is that your new norm or an exception.

I may looking to pickup a new set of seats and a D-bottom steering wheel. How does the shipping process work from the US to Canada? Such as packaging the seats, using a carrier, costs, etc?

Any chance you can PM or post your experience on how the shipping process works, what it costs (estimate), etc?

Adding these seats to the wishlist would still be cheaper than new seats in a new Z06.

The best seats ever. When I find a kindey recipient, I will at least have enough money to buy one seat!!

Very simple, you box them up and you can use UPS, fedex or any other courier. I have a custom broker who handles all the paper work at the border. Cost is usually a couple hundred bucks to ship.

No... You don't even lose the heated seat. The only thing you lose is the side air bag, and John supplies a plug to make the computer think it's there.

Sort of regret selling mine, the Daytona's are marvelous.

But the $6500 did come in handy for mods lol.
