I sat in a new 650ci today, and the seats felt GREAT. Got me thinking .. has anyone installed aftermarket seats in their C6 ?? How about re-building the frame of existing seats ?? How about installing the XLR seats in a C6 ??

I'm looking for more support on the sides of the lower seat cushion (thigh area).

Any CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions much appreciated.

Go with caravaggio. They have the most beautiful seats, and are very supporting.

I was just looking at the new website for the BG Assy Plant and noticed the XLR has cooling in the seats as well heating. If the seat's cooling system is not fully contained within the seat itself, that could add some complexity to the switch.
