You sure you want to go that way as ECS has some great looking leather Sport seat covers for a great price and the new foam is also reasonable, but then I thougt you were getting a new Z06

Not sure, but that sounds right. One thing you might not realize, they are talking about removing the seatbelt spooler and the plastic trim around it. The regular a4s are a tight fit as it is (but you can keep the stock seatbelts).

There is a shop in Kyle that can get the seats for you. PM me if you want the contact info (the owner is a friend of mine).

BTW, it is Corbeau

How about some pictures of the Corbeau's in your car and info where you purchased them.

Also were any of you able to fabricate brackets to use the stock rails ?

How about you guys with mememory and telescope wheel options, what wiring modifications did you have to make ?

Thanks.
