Default Aftermarket Seats

I'm looking for a set of aftermarket seats for my 2000 FRC. Not racing seats, but street sport seats. I do plan on getting a Sparco Evo for race weekends, but need something that looks and feels good to keep the wife happy.

I've not had any luck finding one that fits yet. Does anyone have any aftermarket seats in their vettes?

Also, if anyone has a pair of Sport Seats they want to get rid of I'm willing to negotiate.

BluFRC,

Does that mean you have oem seats that you would like to sell ? I have a friend with a 98 that needs some new seats. Let me know if you are interested.

Steve

My friend is interested for sure but I don't know his price range.
E-mail me directly so I can put you two of you together, (without having to go through me, although I don't mind).

PS: What color ?

BluFRC,
I have had a recaro leather seat in my Z06 for about 6 months (drivers side only..due to finances). A custom bracket was made by Conversion techniques in Oakland ( near the airport), and you need the electric option package. The difference is that the seat needed to be mounted about 1 inch higher to clear the seat belt retractor. The lateral support is greatly improved over stock, and the memory seat option does not work. Hope this helps.

Which Recaro seat do you have?
How much did the custom bracket cost you?

I do not have the memory option so that is not an issue.
