Re-covering Corbeau seats I just picked up a pair of Corbeau Forzas really cheap off of a buddy. The seats are pretty faded, dirty, and torn. He said you can buy new covers from Corbeau for about a hundred bucks a pop, but I cant find anything! Has anyone done this?
Also, I need a set of brackets, are all the Corbeau brackets the same, or do I have to get some that are specifically made for the Forza seat?

Have you tried calling or e-mailing corbeau? I've never heard of new seat covers for a hundred bucks a pop.
Can you get your stock brackets to fit with an aluminum adapter bracket?

6LE has a writeup for his seats to bolt to the stock tracks. Basically take a few pieces of flat aluminum that are long enough to stretch horizontal across the seat, and drill 2 sets of holes, one for the Corbeau's, and the second for the stock mounting points.

Ahhhh yeah, I mentioned something like that to my boyfriend, and he shot it down. Something to do with it'll apparently snap and I'll crash and die. lol

You'll probably have to fab brackets, Corbeau will only sell them with a set of seats. Also, the Forza's are the same seats I had, not terribly comfortable, but for track duty they rock. I doubt you'd get the seat covers for $100/ea. but the seat was on the lower end of the price spectrum so maybe?
