I'm liking it! I wonder what kind of fabbing to the brackets had to be done. If it was a relatively easy swap I would love to do it.

I spoke with John Paige (21st Century Muscle Cars) because I knew he had done it in a C5 and C6. He didn't recommend it due to the amount of work involved. I don't know exactly what has to be done, but even with me paying he didn't seem to want to do it. It does look great, but since my seats are far worse than those in a C6 I just bought a set out of a C6Z.

Pics are from recent work done by a shop here in DFW. Guy drove his car in from Florida to have them put in. The seats are fully functional and look great!!

That would have to be answered by the man doing the work! I know it takes some time to fab and install.

I put in C6 seats into my C5. They are way more comfortable then the C5 seats.
