Seats look great.
How hard was it to mount the c3 rails to the seats?
Pics of the underside?
How much higher do you sit?
Sorry to hear about the family situation.

Sucks when wives leave and want to make the toys leave too. Hope the situation resolves itself easily and you don't end up funding the toys of a couple of useless lawyers.
Sorry to hear that kind of news Todd. Keep your chin up buddy.

Looks great Todd. Don't be too quick on the car thing though. Sorry to hear about your marriage woes, lot's of us here have gone through it. Mine was pretty bad, but you know what? it's like they say, things always have a way of working themselves out. You just can't see that right now.
Give it some time.

Todd that looks really 
Exactly the look I'd like for my car. Speaking of cars and divorces, and I've had more than my share of both 
, following the good advice posted above by taking your time and thinking it through will ultimately be your best tactic. FWIW I got my vette while we still in court the last time. Boy was she pissed! Just one more reason why I can never sell my ride.

Seats look great.
As for the marriage situation, be patient & and don't make any rash decisions.
Attempt mediation. The lawyers are only there for their own financial interest. They create conflict to keep the cash flow moving along at a rapid pace.
Trust us. Many of us have been through this crap before.
Good luck, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Did you recover yourself or have someone else do it? - looks great, I installed the C5 seats in my C3 about 10 years ago and had the neoprene covers that resemble your leather work.

Hi guys thanks for the support will be going to the lawyer tomorrow,
things are not good, as for the seats
dyed the same covers very easy to do, just time consuming i have left and right power seats with all parts if anyone is looking 100 each.
used the c3 tracks and made them to fit c5 seat, puts the seat about 1" higher so if you are taller than 6" and dont have glass roof, think twice, but they are so much better on my back.
i am writing up a how to with pics i will post when i get some time
and once again thanks for your support, i hope i can keep the car but the way the law is on guys things don't look good.

Where did you get the dye from, I had thought of dying my centres like you did but was worried that it would come off during the high heat in summer and destroy our clothes.
Hope all works out on the legal front for you.

Good luck, keep your chin up and don't let the sharks get in too close.
