to be honest i like the corvette seats, they just look like they were made better...

but if you're going for the "race" look then yea get the other ones, but if you're going for a street/cruiser look, i say corvette's.

The corvette seats all the way. I wanted some new seats and all the aftermarket seats I could find looked like they were out of Fast and The Furious ricers. The ones you found are decent but not upto par with the vette seats. I ended up getting some 02 leather trans am seats and door panels for my camaro. you can check it out on my car domain. good luck.

Screw the Corvettes, they look like *** and aren't really supportive... If people didn't know they were out of a Vette and just thought they were another Ebay seat they'd say different...

I've been considering seats for awhile and looked at many different year Vette seats... After awhile they all look like they still belong in the 80's...

If you really like that tall shape of the Vette seats get some Corbeaus like BitViper did...

Recaro Sport Toplines in leather and suede.

The leather is SERIOUSLY fine quality and the suede keeps you in the seat.

The fans and heaters are a nice bonus as well.

Of all the seats I've looked at/tried, these were the best IMO.

They're pricey . . . you get what you pay for

Costco was actually carrying those Recaro-ish seats during the summer, though they might have moved them out for the winter. But it still might be a worthwhile trip to stop by and see if they have them so you can see how you like the fitment/quality.
