by the time you buy vette seats and spend the mone to fab them in, you could buy badass race seats that already fit and have harness holes. just a thought

They say Z06. I believe he said there was a little fabrication involved, but not too bad. They look great, but I wouldn't want them with the Z06 logo. Like stated above unless you get a great deal on vette seats, there are lots of other choices out there.

You're right, I'm looking for an old set of C5 seats that I'll have reupholstered to match my car and put Z28 on the headrest.

Maybe, but personally I wouldn't go messing with the whole airbag thing.......They're set up to operate in a specific manner for a specific vehicle...

yeah, don't play with the steering wheel. just keep the stocker. don't want the airbag to fail to go off when needed because the halfassed adapter you had to cobble together didnt work.
