Default Help finding new seats.

I'm looking around for some suggestions, as i'm not having any luck looking online.

I am looking for carbon fiber seats that will be comfortable, are hi quality, and could possibly be mistaken as stock. Nothing too Racy.

I'm not sure if it's been attempted in a c5, but prior to thinking about Carbon seats, i was looking at the new 2012 seats. Love the look of them. If i cannot find anything else i might attempt converting these to use in the c5 and get some custom upholstery from DD.

If you have suggestions please post some pics/links.

Thanks ahead of time!

The only people/group I know that makes something like that for the C5 (carbon fiber, stock-looking, not racy) is Apsis (because I don't think Caravaggio makes the Daytona Seat for the C5). I hope you bought the cheapest sports car you could stand to be seen in when you bought a C5 though, because those seats will set you back between $6,500 and $8,000 for a pair, or between 1/2 and 1/3 the cost of the average C5.

Thank you, I have seen those. Yes those are close to what i'm looking for, but not quite. For some reason i'm not feeling those seats.

I saw these but i'm not sure if they fit.

Any other suggestions are welcome!

...and those don't look 'too racy'?
