Default Adding sport seats

Has any one replaced their seats with sport seats ? If so where did you get power for the passenger seat ? I am adding sport seats to my FRC and there seems to be no connector for power on that side. I know the stock seat was not power but I thought there would be a connector there. Does GM make different harnesses or is the connector tucked away somewhere ? Any help would be great.

I tried putting Sport Seats in my Z06.
You can put memory sports seats in a car with memory, but you can't
put non-memory seats in a car with memory (you'll drop codes). You can however put
memory seats in a non-memory car (I don't think the seat memory will work). You should be able to get power
from the leads in the footwell for the passenger seat. Good Luck :cheers:

cool sig... does this mean you stopped hanging out with your friends now?? :lol:

If you want to add seats why not buy Sparco racing seats? They fit well, look good and work!

NealB - you might want to look into converting your Z06 seats to sport seats to see if it makes sense $ wise at:
http://www.vetteessentials.com/

There are also installation instructions there for sport seats in general that you can look at to see if it is something you want to tackle.

:cheers:
