      C7 Compitition Seats In A First Gen

      Magnesium frames snobby tesla like gloss fiberglass backs, real carbon 4 point belt slots, 12-way power adjustments. Heating, cooling and oem 3 point seatbelts in the works. Each seat has four individual motors, lumbar inflater, three cooling fans and a heating element. They weigh 20lbs more than the Recaros they replaced however, more than worth it.

      Thanks! The console is a one off made by Jason Combs. The carpet is the one piece cutpile plush offered by Trim Parts. It's night and day over the loop.

      Yessir Rockstar Audio in livermore California. Hands down the best audio shop in the Bay Area. Scotty the owner's attention to detail is outstanding.

      Nice look seats. Did you have to make a custom bracket.

      I did have to make a bracket. And shorten the oem seat mounting brackets. Based on the fact they were designed to instal on the flat mounting surface of a C7 and now look like they came with my car I'm extremely satisfied.

      I sent the oem C7 anchors and spades to Juliano's interior products in CT. They sent me back a great set of belts that mount to the factory sail panel with a clam shell and a retractor that mounts behind the rear arm rests. I highly recommend them.

      Looks great, but at 6'2, I expect there's no way I could sit in them given the height from the floor. Nice work though!

      Yeah I had to shorten the stock mounting feet. With that combined with the power adjustments they fit better than the recaros they replaced. I'm 6'1.

      I got the rear seat rebuilt to provide a better match to the front seats. The bolstering looks great.

      My buddies neighbor works at a Chevy dealership. He got them with the intention of swapping into his C6Z. When he decided to go a different direction and sell the Z I jumped at the opportunity. I've seen a fewest on eBay. The last set sold for $6,800 out of Dallas. They're awesome seats but about 29lbs per seat heavier than the recaros they replaced.
