Not directly, but a C4 is probably the only place you'll find C4 seats. A couple guys here have put them into their thirdgen. I believe they had to make adapters to bolt them to the stock tracks. Also keep in mind that they don't fold forward, so getting into your back seats will be impossible.

If you were asking just about the color/pattern and not the seat style itself, you can get new covers made for your stock seats that have a similar 2-tone design.

I have some seats that are basicly same as the one Jtufts was looking at. I was too lazy to make brackets. So the sliders that came with the seats, I bolts those to the floor pans, not very well either. I got pulled over once for being a racer because of my seats. LOL. Yeah, I'll have to make bracket or look on cardomain.com and they have brackets for APC seats with the sliders for 3rd gen Camaros. Just a thought.

You can get new covers for your stock seats with with two tone leather from mrmikes.com or leatherseats.com. They both have a wide variety of colors and patterns.

+1 for Mr. Mikes. I re-upholstered my seats with one of his kits and they look great.

c4 seats do fold forward!

Brackets wise, either look to use third gen seat brackets and bolt them to the vette seat using some metal adapters. OR, You can use the C4 brackets and make adapters to fit it on the third gen floorboard.

The second option is harder. i've installed racing seats into my previous car and I used both methods. The first one worked really good, second one worked fine, but it was a lot more work, but also a lot safer.

Why not go with low end Recaros?
It seems that you will have to redo the material on the seats anyway.
