Default Ebay seats

What do you guys think of these seats!

They look pretty good, like carrivaggios seats (somewhat)

I bet if you bought those and stitched Caravaggio in the headrest, you could sell them for 4x the amount since that all that matters to most on here.

Just a word of advice about ebay seats. Some are great and some of them the material is crap. I suggest you try to sit in a pair before you purchase. I wounded up with DAD's in my DSM and couldn't be happier.

^^ Those do look nice however they look thinly padded and the back doesn't look like it reclines independent of the seat.

Here is the website of the company that makes them. Maybe find a dealer near you and check them out first??

They are well padded and really comfortable. They hold you in extremely well. They backs do not recline separate from the bottoms but they tilt and use the stock tracks.

Linked from the other thread..

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...have-them.html

Copy and pasted my update below:

So, after some months of procrastination, being busy with school and work, and just doing other things... I have finally finished the installation.

I haven't gotten around to writing up the instructions yet, but below are a few teaser photos and also a link to the photobucket account for the photos.

I'm digging the style, but the 'fit' of the cover looks sub par. Is there any way to tighten everything up?
