Default Will the Sparco Torino seats fit?

I've tried doing a search and I can't find anything for a C5. Will they fit? Did you have to do any modification to make them fit? Are they comfortable? Most importantly, do you have any pictures?

I rode in a ZO6 w/ the Sparco Torino seats. They were the most comfortable and supportive seats of any Corvette that I've been in. Great for HPDE's or any driving that allows the seatback to still fold forward.
The car's owner is in the Northern Virginia CC. You might go to that website to post the question.

It was awhile ago, but I'm pretty sure we used harnesses and the original belts were retained for street use.
Here's a link to the forum.
