Default New Seats Finally!

These are the second set of Caravaggio seats installed in my car. Much better for non-track driving ... Finally got it right after having two sets of custom seats made by John.





Doesn't sound real sexy right now in August but I had John install heat pads in the seats. Should be really nice this winter! Here is the integrated switches installed in the traction control panel...



So, does anybody have Caravaggio sunvisors? I think that is the next addition

Great seats. What did they cost you as I am considering that style also?

What's disappointing is that it wouldn't have cost GM much more money to offer seats like this in place of what they did offer. It completely tranforms the interior of the car and they look to be very functional for street/track use.
