We'll see how they sell but for basically $1000 more you can have new full seats and won't have to spend any money having them installed as the full seat will bolt in, but good luck to you.
If you are looking for high profit low volume then that price is probably right on.

Thanks Charlie. I know these won't meet the needs of everyone but we've received plenty of requests from people who:
1. Want to keep all their power functions
2. Not loose any headroom doing so
3. Keep their o/e color leather interior
4. Have a seat that reclines
5. Have better cornering support and harness cutouts
I'm not aware of anything fitting all those needs for double the price, but again, not everyone has all these needs.
I'd be happy to sell anyone who could use a red, yellow or blue cloth seat like below the seat AND brackets for mounting them directly to their power tracks for $539 each.
Or our last set of the black cloth, carbon fiber seats for $639 each.

We are finishing up the tooling for a new seating option for C5 and C6 Vettes. We are modifying the seat back shown below to be a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock C5 and C6 seats. The harness holes will be a different shape (two smaller individual holes) to avoid problems with the cables for the tilt-forward option on the factory seat backs we plan to retain. All o/e functions will remain on the C5 and all but the air bags on the C6.
We will provide a new cover for the seat bottom as well. We can make them in solid o/e leather colors or with perforated inserts, suede inserts, contrasting double stitching, etc.
For those who were ready to reupholster their seats anyway, this will be a another option. For those wanting to keep their power functions but have a seat with better support, offers leather and has harness capabilities, we believe this will be the great option.
We hope to start producing them next month. We don't have difinitive pricing yet but I'm sure there will only be 3 digits left of the decimal point per seat to avoid heart failure
. All those interested should EMAIL ME DIRECTLY since I have started a folder of people to update as progress continues. That will be quicker than me responding to pm's individually.

I left you a VM earlier today - how much are those brackets you sell and can you confirm I will GAIN headroom with your seats and brackets?
I saw some seats that come with (4) individual side mount brackets which will mount the seat lower that those 1 piece side mount brackets you show on your brackets/sliders. But it sure looks like if I did try to get the seat mounted lower, it would hit the 6pt eyebolts.
HELP! Thx.

Is it not possible to get the PRICE of the brackets posted? I think you've been asked around 4 times by people so far on here.
And it's a street car that will see HPDE - so sliders are necessary as there will be different people driving the car.

I met Mark on Saturday to discuss seating options for my 04 Z. He was very accomidating, meeting me late in the afternoon Saturday and was very helpful.
He showed me a few seats as I'm 5'7 and 220#'s so comfort and fit is important. He had a few examples setup on rails and we discussed and he help make some recommendations for me.
Point being, Mark's a standup guy and you shouldn't hesitate to do business with him.
Thanks again Mark!

We are continuing work on the cover pattern and post pictures when a completed seat is finished.

What timing, my driver seat is worn ( yea, left lumbar of course), looking for either new seats or upgrading.. will await the price and see what route I want to go. Was even thinking of installing Honda S2000 sports seats in my vette (I really don't want to put Honda seats in my vette, but they are great seats).. Thanks,

Our target price will be $899 per seat for the new leather covered back with new cover for the bottom. I'm not sure yet if options like Alcantara inserts will add to the cost. Cloths seats will be less. Shipping should be pretty reasonable since we're only shipping half a seat.
not really looking to take a loan out to get some new seats
