Default Seat Design

Im gettin my set of Corbeau's re-ulpolstered next week..Im going to replace the grey fabric with matching leather or "Pleather" and keep the black wear guards


And I thought what would look really great on them is some sort of design where the word Corbeau is...



So it set me to thinking....[what else could I set in there

A Z28 emblem..chevy Bowtie,,,

Any other ideas?

where did you get your carbon fiber mirrors? they look nice. If you don't have too many Z28 logos, it might be sweet...but then again, I like the clean look of no design too. Btw, do your seatbelts work just fine as they did stock? My seats should be here this week. What modfications did you have to do to make them fit?

thanks,

mikie

They're a bit low..but work just fine. Im still up in the air ..literally..about using the stock rails...It sets me about 1" too high...but I like the ability to haveabout in 6 degrees...

The ones that come with the seats make you sit WAY TOO LOW but arent flexable enought to allow for adjustment..once you set them all you get is fron and back!

I picked them because they are different. They look like they belong in a concept car design. I just hope the quality is as good as they look. I will let you know very very shortly... but hey, back on track...I think a Z28 logo on the seat would look great with your seats...where are you taking them to get the new look?

I'd like to know, how are they comfort-wise compared to your original seats? Did you have a power seat prior? If so, do you like being all manual now?

The Corbeaus are way better that the stock seats ...the driving experience is totally different...they are tighter than the stock seats..very snug.

Im still running the electric rails my stock seats came on...the new seats now sit a bit higher than stock..Im still searching for the sweet spot..but being able to tilt and bend the seats ..looking for the sweet spot is so much easier with the electric seats.

With the manual adjusters your only gonna get Up forward and back...
