No, we still need to add the seat conversion above, and the bucket seat that we show is still being updated.

I will try to make a page to explain what is currently being made and what is expected in the near future.

As far as fiberglass seats go, we had a seat similar to the Pole Position seat made with larger holes. We were happy with it overall but asked to raise the holes even slightly higher. We are having a black leather sample made next. If we are happy with that we will see if the factory has ebony leather available as well.

Here are a few pics from a C6 customer who installed our seat conversion. We make these in both the C5 and C6 upholstery patterns.

Based on feedback we are making our custom back with deeper side bolsters. Some have prefered the back be more aggressive since the bottom is stock. We should have the new cover pattern soon.

Here is a picture with a cover. The leather is a mismatch of ebony and black leftover pieces just for test fit purposes, but you get the idea. We can make the complete back and ship it to you with a bottom cover - NO DOWNTIME WITHOUT SEATS! You unbolt your back and replace it with ours. The cable for the seat back release does not appear to be available any longer with a black lever (a C5 color) at the top but we can install one with an ebony lever (a C6 color). If you need a tan or grey C5 lever we will need to check what's available but all the C6 colors should be.



If you'd like to add a sub belt slot to your bottom I recommend buying a new foam pad and shipping it to us or having us get it for you. We can sew the opening in the new bottom cover and add the slot to the foam. You will need to spread the two center suspension wires in your bottom frame outward to make room for the sub belt to pass through.



We can do the C5 or C6 pattern and can use suede for the inserts if desired. We've added the C6 heaters before; haven't tried the C5 but would expect that should't be a problem. If you want to stop sliding around in your stock seat but keep all your power track options and not loose headroom, this is the ticket.

Yep, he is still in business and making the seat backs. I just ordered two for my Z06. Real nice person to deal with.

What did they cost. I don't think I saw them on his web site.
