Just got my my Corbeau Forza seat in

I found an add on Craigslist for Corvette seats and lone behold, he was also selling Corbeau Forza seats. I stopped by his house and sure enough, I got two Forza seats, two seat tracks, and two seat mounts for $160. Granted the seat mounts were for his C3, I just had to modify them. One seat was in perfect condition and the other had a hole in the shoulder about the size of a quarter. Anyway I finished modifying a seat bracket and finally got one of them installed. Here is the drivers side seat installed...

I'm still waiting to see if I can get a new seat cover for the one with a hole.

The Corbeau seats are taking a lot of weight out of my car since I had the power drivers seat track. I have also gained a little head room which is great since I am 6'3" and I have to wear a helmet for autocross. The lack of cushion isn't bad either. I took it over one of the bumpiest roads near my house and it was fine, no worse than my stock seat.

Great score! They're even the right color!

Re: Just got my my Corbeau Forza seat in

Bad news is that Corbeau doesn't make seat covers for my style of Forza seat. They said that version is to old, but I guess that's what you get for $160. Either way I got two seat tracks and one seat in perfect condition for the cost of one brand new seat!

Only thing I can think of is to take it to an upholstery shop and have them give me a quote.
