[ZR1] C7 competition seats in a C6 Corvette ZR1 conversion finished
#21
Finally got the passanger seat finished. Fully functioning C7 Corvette competition seats except for airbags, they have been removed. I will start on the driver side this weekend. But I am extremely happy with the results of the passenger side.

Awesome job! Did you have to modify the seat rails to fit in the C6? Also, for a Vette w/o a roll cage, could the airbags in the seats be retained?

The cooling feature is only fans that circulate in the seat. They are wired to a "key on" fuse and I wired a one speed toggle and put it next to the seat adjusters.
These seats did not come with heaters or the cooling fan. I had to order the C7 comp seat heaters and fans for these seats. You will have to use the thermostatic leads from the C6 heaters and wire them in the c7 heat pads (this is required to make the heaters kick on in the C6). After that...simply use the C6 logic box for the seat heaters and this will allow you to use the stock "heated seat" button on the console to control them.

...I also saw another pair in black for $1500 but they looked they had been chewed on by a big dog. But again, one could have them custom recovered.
If the OP provides a write-up on the solution to the electrical difficulties this could become a trend
