Caravaggio Daytona seats for a C5
We just finished our first set of Daytona seats for a C5. The customer bought a set of C6 seats and then mounted them onto his C5 rails. He wired everything up himself so that he was able to use the stock C6 switches on the side of the seat.

This customer bought a set of C6 seats and then bolted the seats to his C5 tracks. He did whatever he did to the harness so that he could use the C6 controls with his C5 tracks. Then he sent them to me and I made them look like that. My job cost $4850.00 for the pair.

That is one badazz looking seat. Would have been nice to have come from the factory like that.

Maybe you could request from your customer if he would share the installation steps he went through to mount them to the C5 rails and modifications if any to the harness to get the controls to work. It would be very appreicated by those looking to potentially get these seats. Thanks.
Sound right John?
And yes, they're beautiful. I just don't think I'll ever have $5K to put into seats.

More like 6500, by the time you buy C6 seats. I guess they think these are Porsches. Funny, it's about the same price as a complete SC system.
