the leather looks a little uneven in some spots, like it needs to be stretched better but other then that a very nice looking seat.

Have you guys found a solution to the seatbelt issue? also, any price point yet? I'm in a position to pickup a new set of seats if you guys are motivated to get some out on the market.

What we have coming in June is 5 sets black leather, 2 sets black leather w/red stitching, 2 sets black cloth and 2 sets black cloth w/red stitching.

The leather seats will be $595 and the cloth versions $429. The mounting hardware will add about $100 per seat. Shipping is up in the air until we see the boxes and dimensions.

The seat belt fits fine on this model. With the Roadster style seat the thick part of the fiberglass lip on the seat was directly in line with the widest part of the buckle. You couldn't install it without extending the buckle upward. The lip on our seat is higher and doesn't interfere.


We do have a subbelt slot as well.

I want to get the leather with red stiching, and have the C5 Z06 logo added. How do I put a deposit on these? I think I put dubs on a set way back? Don't want to miss out on the first batch, lol.

Send me an email through the link on the page below and specify which seat you are interested in. I have a folder saved with those interested and will "red flag" you to be contacted as a first option on the seats with red stitching. I will look into having a logo installed on our sample seat so people can decide if they want logos or not.

Updated pictures of the bracket are on the link below.

I noticed your post on that "other" forum but the pricing you mentioned did not include mounting brackets. Re-read post above (# 105). Logos will be $25each additional if desired. I have not received any emails from you through our website on the link I gave you so you should do that ASAP.

SeaLawyer from the thread below has the GT3 seats. He came by today and sat in our new seat sample. His overall opinion was he liked ours better. The lower hip area is basically the same size - so if the GT3 is too tight, ours would likely be also. He felt our shoulder area was more comfortable and the lower bolsters had more padding and were more comfortable as well. He prefers carbon fiber to match other parts he's added and said if we ever make a carbon fiber version he'd sell his GT3 seats and buy ours.

Here is what the C5 logo would look like on the seats. They would be $25 per logo installed. The Z06 logo is also available. The seats are expected in NY around the 15th and we should get them within a week from then.

We received a new Sparco seat on Monday. We found it very tight in the shoulders and able to accommodate about 36-37" waists. We are having a similar style shell made that will be 1" wider in the hip and thigh area and 1 3/8" wider in the shoulders that will still fit in the C5/C6. It should be comfortable with waists into the 40's I would think but we will get opinions once the sample is completed in 4-6 weeks. We will offer it with brackets to bolt to the factory tracks.

The seats on the bottom of the page below should arrive to us between the 18th-23rd. We will receive 5 sets black leather, 2 sets black leather w/red stitching, 2 sets black cloth and 2 sets black cloth w/red stitching. I do not have pictures of the cloth versions yet or the red stitching. I will take them when they arrive. The black leather with red stitching are spoken for at this time and at least one set of solid black leather. The leather seats are $595 each and cloth $429. The C5 brackets are $95 per seat. Logos are $25 each as shown a few posts above. I cannot estimate shipping until I see how they are boxed.
