The seats look very good, and I like the fact that it still has seatback adjustability. I guess the "real question" is, how is the seat, the bolsters both top and bottom, the length of the bottom for under-thigh support and all these not just for short, around-town drives, but longer drives? In other words, are they at least comfortable for you---since everyone is different and one may praise the seat, while others will condemn it? I'm talking about a minimum of at least a few hours in the seat at a time. Granted, you just posted it today so it could be a little too soon for extended "seat time."
I agree, for the money it looks good and Corbeau has a long history in the biz--not some startup with no history at all.
Note: I think I just noticed the seatbacks are not adjustable; is that correct?

That is correct. It's a fixed back seat. According to the website, they offer the same seat with adjustability but it does not fit in a Corvette. They made these seats specifically for the Corvette C5/C6.

Badass seats. I put a set in my C5 and another car since then.
- Seatback NOT adjustable but you'll never miss it. Angle can be adjusted slightly upon installation with washers between the seat and bracket.
-What I really love is how rigid they are. They feel solid and make you feel very tied into the car, much better than the bag-o-marshmellows stock seats.
- Material quality is indeed excellent!
- Highly recommend TPSMak vendor here as a source !

Back from the dead again. I just bought a set of these for my 08 z06. It had Caravaggio’s before and those used all the OEM electronics. Obviously the Corbeau’s do not. I purchased the dummy plugs for the driver and passenger side from Vetteworks. My question is, does any of the factory wiring get “re-used”? Like the bladder for the passenger side, etc. There’s a lot of stuff under that side seat lol.

The driver’s side makes sense. But the passenger side doesn’t. The seat belt itself has a connector on it as does the seat belt buckle as well. Then there’s the bladder. And the modules. Seems like these would still need to be hooked up/plugged in to avoid issues.
