Looking for some seats
Hey guys,
I'm looking around for a new set of seats. I keep getting drawn back to the Caravaggio Daytona Seats. Those things are just Beautiful!... problem is, they're approx 5500-6500. Definitely out of my price range. I'm wondering if there's anything out there, or anything that can be made similar to the Caravaggio Daytona Seats, or if the stock seats can be customized in a way to resemble the design of these.
I know why those seats are so much, but in a way i don't need all that high end quality for me. I don't need the carbon fiber outer shell, i don't need the high end Italian leather. I'd just love to have the design. Any input you guys have would be great!

Corbeau A4's seem to be pretty popular. Some of the Sparco seats are also nice. The problem with the C5s is that a lot of seats are too wide to fit.
There has been lots of discussion on this topic. Do a search and you'll find lots of information from knowledgable people.

Yeah, i've done a search on the subject. In a way i'm hoping to hear something other than Corbeau A4's. They seem alright, but i'm just not that sold on the designs.
However, would any shops like DDmods customize a seat? I could get the cheaper cloth versions and apply some modifications to the bolsters to get the look i want.
It's funny how the corvette has skinny seats, but such a wide rear end.

I'm not sure how much these are but Apsis does some of the nicest work I've seen. Apsis USA is also a supporting vendor on the forum.
