Different SEATS??
Anyone have any pictures of differnt seats in their c5?
I have been looking to get rid of the factory seats because of
looks and a little wear....
Should i go with just nice covers or whole new seats?
And If i buy new seats what about the electronic seat adjustments?
Do some new seats come with that option?
Thanks again for any help....

Seat covers:
I guess it depends on how much money you are willing to part with. I have seen more than a few $2000.00 seat covers, on this forum that fit the seat just about as well as a garbage bag would. All loose and weird. Sure it's got "the name" on it and sure it is high quality leather, but if it fits like a pair of those hip-hop pants, then what's the point?
Just recently a friend of mine went to a local upholstery shop and had some killer seats fabbed up with suede inserts that look amazing and actually fit the seat.

Thats what im worried about buying seat covers.
I want them to fit perfect or forget it....
I would be willing to spend up to 1K for good seats or perfect covers
ANYONE?? I just want to buy the right ones the first time...
thanks again

Here's a pic of my Corbeau A4s in my 98 Vert. Under 1K for the pair with seat rails for the C5.
The A4s are the only reclinable model they make that'll fit inside a C5.
They are also available in leather and microsuede. Mine are red cloth.
Not available with power features, but I don't mess with the seat much once I have it where I like it.
I bought them from Apex Performance. Really nice people to work with. HTH

I just bought covers and foam from leatherseats.com and they are doing them in blk/wht since my Vette is blk with a wht top. I got the covers and foam for the drivers side for just under $1k. They should be here this week and I'll post some pics.
