Sparco makes seat installation brackets specific to the Corvette C5 that allow installation of a Sparco seat (either a Fixed one piece Racing Seat, or, a Split-Back Sport Seat) into a C5. However, in a few instances, I have discovered that I have had to slightly modify the Passenger Seat Bracket to accommodate the installation of a matching Sparco Seat. And, finally, the Caravaggio seat is, indeed, a "re-skinned" Sparco Roadster Seat as mentioned above.

Just picked up one today, found a guy local w/ a driver bracket off the forum, he had a cross bar too, I snagged the seat bracket & the crossbar for $200 bucks and put em in the car tonight. Wow, what a difference, now all I need is some harnesses & the pass bracket. Man I cant believe the deals I stumble upon on this forum, this place is awesome.
