Done... Leather is in BLACK only unless you want to get the Evolution X which has synthetic leather with red stitching....

Will FX1 seats fit in the C5Z? Also what size for a 5'10 170lb guy? I assume that I would be best fit for the pro because I'm a skinny average track guy?

How much for a pair of black suede FX1's shipped to 98271? (with seat tracks/brackets)
Also how much for a pair of the red cloth FX1's to 98271 with brackets etc too?

Thanks!

The FX1's will not fit a C5 BUT the Forza Sport will and it's quite a bit wider than the FX1 Pros. Here's a set of red installed in a customer's C5..it looks SAWEEEEEET!!!

31" waist and curious about black suede and the red too ( I REALLY want suede though, so I'm going to see if the price is worth it to me.

Any way you can make a red suede one?

Only way to make red suede is you have to make it yourself. Black suede is not that much more.. I'll PM you the prices.

Hey guys, I am looking to install a set of Black Micro suede A4's into my 2005 C6 base car. If I order the package with brackets from TPS does this come with everything needed to drop them into the car? What about the electronics/airbag warnings? Not too worried if there is just an airbag light on the dash or something, but is there anything else I need to worry about? My stock seats do have the heated option, but I don't care about keeping it really. I'm just concerned about the install because I'd like to tackle it myself!

I've read just about every page in this forum and have got most of my questions answered just from reading! You guys are the best.

Many thanks,
Dustin

The install is not too hard... it's essentially removing the old seats and installing the new. If you want to make sure your air bags would click here to buy the Air Bag Simulators.

http://www.tpsmotorsports.com/corvet...lator-kit.html

Corbeau does offer a heated seat option that works very well.

So essentially, if I purchase the seat package and install without that Air Bag Simulator, everything will work fine but I will lose the telescopic steering wheel and have an airbag light on the dash?

I'm not so sure about getting the Air Bag Simulators, I was reading about the passenger side install and how you have to transfer that pad. I've really only had a passenger ride in my car probably 2-3 times in the last year, and not sure if I have any need to do all that extra modification. What would be the difference if I don't even have a passenger to apply pressure on the pad? LOL I know I'm crazy But I guess that's why I'm confused. I only want to upgrade the driver and passenger seat to keep a clean look, I couldn't live with mix matched seats lol (I'm in love with my car)

Thanks for all the help!

Correct.. if you don't use the simulator the air bag light will stay on AND your passenger Air Bag will not work

My 2005 has power seats for both the driver side AND passenger side. Installing these should save me some weight because of that right? I'm finding mixed reviews about them being both heavier and lighter than stock seats. The guys saying the Corbeaus are heavier must not have the power seats or something..

Corbeau seats will save you quite a bit of weight... especially if you have power seats because power seat brackets are very heavy.
