LOVE the seats. Good call. I'm a fan of the 5 star C6 wheels on C5's, but the new ones still look great.

Nice upgrades. Those seats really add some nice contrast over the originals, and the wheels really look nice . Of course, I like chrome over painted, I did the same on mine. Very nice!

The seats rock, As far as the rims, I like the old ones,Everyone has your new rims and I think the 5 spoke C6 rims look great on a C5.

Tell us about those seats: Source, who installed them, and cost. They're awsome.
