The seat frame is the same, but obviously the foam is not. If you were to obtain the sport seat foam, you can use the sport seat skins.

You will not have the inflatable bladders for the adjustable lumbar and the seat bolsters, nor will you have the harness to connect that.

Ah...thank you kind sir...since we are on the subject , do you know if the holes on the sides of the bottom seat pieces would be covered by the plastic molding at the sides of the bottom of the seats.The skins I am talking about had holes for power seats...would they show on a non power seat or be covered by the side plastic pieces of the manually controlled seat?

To tell you the truth - I've never seen a manual seat on a C5 - though I know that some Z06's came that way on the passenger side. So the simple answer - I don't know!:o

EDIT - But I do have an idea that I just thought of....install the driver seat bottom on the passenger side and passenger side bottom on the driver side. That way the holes will be pointing in towards the console. You can't install the top of the seat that way, because the inside is cloth that is against the console to keep it from squeaking.

...what a great idea about reversing the bottoms to opposite sides...seems like that would work...
