^^You can get the A4 in a variety of colors and styles including black leather, which is the way I would go if I went that route.
Just google corbeau to find their site and look at all the choices they have for the A4s.
You might also want to look in the roadracing section to what seats they have installed.
Might want to look at Sparco seats too.

I REALLY like the Caravaggio GT Race seats, but man....at $2000/seat I don't think so.
I'd like to convert the interior to a two-tone blue/black combo. I don't want to get all black seats because of that. I supose later I might be able to take the seats somewhere and have some custom stitching done and have them match the color of blue that I made the interior with. Do you guys think that's an option?

I've looked at pretty much ALL the seats out there, and it's hard to find what I'm looking for. I've seen it, but apparently they don't fit the Vette. I'd like the A4's, but I want them in Blue/Black. All the styles I've seen on the Corbeau website have only one Blue/Black combo, and that's the one I pasted above.

At the premium they charge, they are not going to get most people to take a chance on them.

$4K+ for seats you can't even test out is total
I'll spend my $$ on seats that I am able to check out before buying.
That is a crazy way to run a business.

^^I agree. Caravaggio was at Carlisle a few years ago and they had a car with some of their seats. I tried to sit in the seats and was told that I was not allowed to, which completely caught me off guard.

Comfort? They are quite comfortable despite being very thin.
Ease of Installation?The install took around 3 hours by myself
Range of Adjustment?They use the factory seat rails so the forward/back range stays the same
Hold Well In Turns?Hold much better than stock seats around turns
Fit/Finish?As with all Caravaggio products they are excellent quality!
Also, those seats aren't adjustable. They are fixed back....
Didn't read all of the post, sorry! Personally I don't miss having the backs adjustable. I thought I would, but they were designed just right without that function.

I just purchased the Legacy 1 corbeau seats, and from a vendor here. I got the passanger seat in just fine, and will work on putting the driver seat in tomorow. They seat very confortable, and look really good. I'll post pic. once the task is complete. Mne are black with the tan center in them.
Thanks
