If theres a way to make these work with the power controls, id be right in on it. If not itd take a while :S

Also, how would these work with a 4 or 5 point harness, if you have that info?

It would be pretty difficult to make them work with the factory power seat system, IMO but those are pretty cool!

Hey, these are the seats I was going to get. Red Italian stitching on a black seat in a red car = sex.

What's the difference between real and synthetic leather?

One is made from cows, the other is not This synthetic is like the back of stock "leather" seats...

i know you want to keep it simple, but I'd seriously consider the seats if you did a two tone (like a second color for the middle parts). With a matching stitching color, that would look awesome.

Damn no love for the neutral ones?

I think if you had a fbody seat bracket that wasn't to high with double locking sliders it would sell like crazy.

So are yours mounted to the stock seat sliders or what? If you can come up with a way so that I can just unbolt my seats off the sliders and put these on then I'd be very interested. I especially like the black "leather" with the white stitching.

Now if only you could come up with a harness bar so these could be safely used with a harness, that would be awesome.

Guys, this is a low buck option. This is what the vendor has, take it or leave it. Want to get picky you have to pay more other places.

These will drop right into an F-Body with the correct Recaro brackets (and the sliders the seat comes with). Same setup I have in my car...

Couple questions.......

These will fit C5's right? from the pictures they seem to have much more support than stock Z06 seats.. is ther a big difference from stock?.. my stockers have me sliding my fat *** in hard turns I see you mounted them on power rails, Im guessing it would be the same with mine right(memory, recline, and everything)? and last but not least how much you charge If you would install these at RMS ?

I would definitely get a set. 550 is a great deal, especially if they came with the brackets for our cars.

As always 6LE thanks for the great products. I understand you have to keep it simple. But could there be options added for those that want them? I'd like to have maybe a synthetic leather outer/bolsters with a cloth center.
