Seats?
I was in my local Auto Zone today,and received a bit of a shock!
On the shelf were two seats,advertised as "racing seats",black,w/ tracks,adj. back rest,for $139 plus tax,each! These were "damn' nice seats for the price.
You know what just the covers cost from the big 3 distributors,[of course made to fit Corvettes,all within $10 of each other,]but still and all,these were assembled,nicely fitted,same material as the basic Corvette replacement,already done! I'm sure some fa-neg-galing must be done to install them,but a cheap,easy short term fix for the average person. What do you think.........

I agree. We are spending way to much for seats. I don't have a show car or care to have one. Mine's a daily driver and has some worn out seats. Sure would like to get some better ones and not have to pay a $1000+ for them. That's 1/7 of what I paid for the car.
Oh well.....Corvette Tax for sure!
