Default new seat idea

I've had the f1x pro seats, and would love to have carravaggios but they're way out of the budget. SO saw these today for the first time and was wondering if anyone on here had tried them and if they would fit. They look like no other corbeau I've seen before

Also curious if anyone knows if these would fit! These look like my shoulders would actually fit in vs some of the other seats.

Look nice but not comfortable.

See if you can find one to sit in first. I sat in the LG1 and was shocked at how they provided no support for me at all. They had to be for fat guys and they say they fit a 38 inch waist, just like the RRS' you link to. At 20" wide, it might fit if you eliminate the stock lower seatbelt retractor.

They definitely look great. Not sure if they fit, but Corbeau has a new seat which was designed to fit the vettes

i personally think the smaller the seat the more comfortable. you want it to always be "hugging" you. the shoulder bolsters look like they may be too wide for our tiny cars

I don't like it as much as the RRS seat, which in looking at dimentions is very close to the A4, and I have found it listed on various corvette part vendors websites in the C5 section, so I have to wonder...

Dammit, this is cool

However, it doesn't recline or accommodate an antisub belt slot, so I'm still hoping for success with my Evo IX Recaro installation
