wow, I never knew how 'affordable' they were. you got me thinking now... LOL
how easy is the install?
I have other things I need to get on my car, but I think after that, I could see myself getting the same ones like yours. I kind of wanted to get my leather redone anyways. might as well pay a bit more and get the seats the car was meant to have...
I wish I could have the Z06 logo on the seats like the stock Z06 seats though.

Did you shave the base of the seat by any chance? I hear the Corbeau brackets really bring up the seat height.

Thanks for helping me spend my money... 
I just talked to Mike and ordered a set of A4s. I got the leather with passenger lumbar (so that it ends up on the driver's side) and sub slots.
You should get a commission!

I would rate the leather as very good. Its not Carvagio $5000 leather seats but for the price its a good deal. The leather feels tougher than stock leather for sure. Keep the "Zaino Leather in a Bottle" on them and they are going to last me a long time.

Anybody in San Diego that have the A4's? I'd like to sit in them and find out how well they would do with my back. Not a very big guy at all, but I tweaked my back when I was 20, and most seats kill it.

Color matching carpet for the feet of seat brackets.
Guys:
Ever since I installed my Corbeau A4's (and Corbeau seat brackets) I have been left with an empty spot around the mounting feet. Its a big bare floor "Silver" spot around all the mounting feet where there is no carpet. I have wanted to find some carpet or something to cover it up. The factory seat brackets have a plastic cover to cover this bare carpet area.
Yesterday while reading the forum I found a post from forum member "02z06dave" where he made his own partition and put carpet on it. I asked him if the color was close to factory and he said it was very close in color. He got it at Walmart for $9.
I went to Walmart last night and got some of this carpet. Its a little thinner than the factory carpet but the color is surprisingly perfect. I was surprised how close a match it was.
I lifted my seats, then cut 8x square pieces of this carpet (6"x6"), then cut a hole in the middle for the bolt to go thru. I was able to slip this carpet square under the existing carpet easily.
You can now barely see where the factory carpet ends and this carpet starts.
Walmart Item # 15524364 (under $9).
Hope this helps someone...
