It will definitely fit the same. Only thing I’m not 100% sure of is the electrical connections. But I haven’t seen anything that they were changed in the later years. I believe it’s a deep socket 15mm for the 4 seat bolts.

The electrical connectors are the same for all year C5's.
The only difference is if the car has a telescopic steering column. This is the blue connector on the harness. Black connector is the same on all.
If your car has the telescopic column and the other seats don't have the blue connector all is not lost. you can move the wiring harness from your old seat along with the seat control module to the new ones.

For that kind of money, go to Corvette America and buy replacement foam for your seats and check out their seat skins.
I did this 10yrs ago or so best thing I did. I went full leather but they do have vinyl also. That is one suggestion, there are others. I would also suggest adding seat heaters while in there. I did not but wish I did.
When replacing the old skins with new cut up the old skin and attach to the wires that support the foam on the bottom to prevent the wires from cutting into the foam.

800 seems kind of high to me to but the seats are in real good condition. there are no tears in the seats. This car had 53,000 miles on it
the passenger seat looks like it was never sat in
My drivers seat is torn and has a broken track. I like the idea of covering the seat wires.
Ive seen seats cheaper but not in this condition
