Default Looking to upgrade the seats in my 02 Corvette

I have a 2002 Corvette Z06 with power drivers and manual passenger seat. I have sourced a set of 2012 Corvette seats that are both powers and was wondering id any of you guys had swapped out C5's for C6's while adding power to the passenger seal.
I also have a set of C6 seat frames that I was planning to get 2013 ZR1 seat foam and leather and conversion. I am thinking about these 2012 seals they came form a 3,000 mile car and I can pick them up for less than the foam for the conversion.
I don't like aftermarket racing seats so that is not an option for me.

The seats themselves will fit just fine. I have 2007 Z06 seats in my car with the 2012/13 foam and leather conversion from leatherseats.com.

BUT I installed mine with manual rails because I never move my seats and don't need power functions.

I don't know the electronics portion, but it has been done. Someone will probably chime in or you can do a search for "C6 Seats" and find the pertinent information.

You PMd me for photos. (Wow. Just realized these are from 7-12-14)

These are back from the day of installation







I need to get some better interior photos with the top off and my red visors.

Those mod red C6 seats look great in your car.

None of the OEM seats came exactly like that.

As I stated above they are 2007 Z06 seats, with the 2012-2013 foam and leather upgrade from leatherseats.com.

Lots of the C6 guys do the foam and leather upgrade. Lots of C5 guys do C6 seats. Why couldn't a C5 guy do both....so I did.
