Here is a link to an install thread of these seats. I wouldn't pay $599 for those. I googled them and found them for quite a bit less, just never pulled the trigger.

The Yonaka seats will fit with some help
The JEgs are pretty much the same seats
The real leather I can do for 579.99 shipped and the synthetic leather would be 379.99 shipped
The seal belt reels get in the way so you will have to modify them to fit
Yonaka has very limited supply of seats currently till end of the month maybe November as well.
Let me know if you need more info

Dennis, how are the seatbelt reels narrowed? I bought an el cheapo as a temporary seat while I rebuild my stock C5 seat this winter. The ebay seat is way too wide to fit down next to the seatbelt plastic piece against the driver sill. I have to figure out how to gain an additional inch of clearance...the seat from reel to reel is 19.5 inches and the C5 gives you 18.5 to work with. If I add some washers to the rear bracket I might get a quarter of an inch. As far as I can tell I would have to cut a hole in the plastic for the reel to sit in.

one of the installs from a customer(need4speed) he made a bracket and moved the reel back as well.
