$325!! Unboxing The Cheapest Racing Seats For C5 Corvettes
Рет қаралды 5,662
Күн бұрын$325!! Unboxing the cheapest racing seats for C5 Corvettes. These Amazon racing seats that I purchased for my C5 Corvette are a great compromise for those that don't want to pay several hundred dollars more for aftermarket racing seats. The C5 Corvette is tight for many aftermarket racing seats, so the options are limited. This budget friendly seat is one of the cheapest you can find on Amazon and they fit the C5 Corvette.

Bought a pair of those for my Autocross C5 and they hold me nice and tight, even though my big butt has to squeeze in them a bit. n Not a seat I would use for a Daily but quality and finish is very good for the price.
@YellowVette04 3 жыл бұрын
I agree about the quality for the price. I only drove once so far with them as Winter has a strangle hold on us right now, but that one time was 100miles and i found them to be comfortable. More comfortable than the stock seats. Not everybody will agree since everybody has a different expectation of how seats should feel. Thanks for sharing your feedback

Why didn't you just call up Caravaggio? He said he'd fix me up with most comfortable set of all leather and alcantara racing seats that I'd want to sleep in the Vette. Yeah, that's what I want! How much are they I asked? Reply: "They start at $10k, custom stitching is extra." I'm now on an increased dose of blood pressure medication ans Xanax! 🤦♂️ Seats look great Dave. Really anxious to see what they look like installed. How do you propose to "dye" the stitching? I kinda did my stitching in a gold which worked out decently with my cashmere interior. But I did it by hand with a Sharpie. Yeah, THAT was a wintertime project! I went through pounds of Chock full O'nuts Coffee on that little detail! After you've removed you stock seats, why don't you peel back the factory carpeting and install some insulation and/or dyna-matting to help keep heat to a minimum since these new seats are ventilated. Just my two-cents. Oh yeah, before you install these new seats, you should get them COVID tested.😉 Save the Wave👋
@YellowVette04 3 жыл бұрын
PC your ears must be ringing. I was just typing up an email to check in since I've been blitzing KZfaq with uploads over the last week and I haven't seen a comment from you lol. Dynamat or something similar is a great idea. I definitely plan on doing that, but I was going to hold off until I got a garage. This way I can remove the interior and install everything at my pace and not be reliant on nice weather. I'm going to use a fabric dye pen on the stitching. Just need to make a run to the craft store.
@petercarey6883 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I saw your media blitzing and only gave thumb's up on all of them. I was to busy crying in my Cheerios because new phone and operating stupidity! Mine, NOT the phone. I still question the use of the moniker "Smart Phone."😉 Anyway, I'm glad I asked you as to how you're going to do the "dye" work. So a "fabric dye pen" from a craft store! DUH! Why didn't I think of that. 🤦♂️ DON'T ANSWER THAT!🤣 Maybe I better drink more V-8 Vegetable Juice with a 150 shot of Nitrous!😁 Smart thinking on waiting until you have garage location to do the install. Plus, for the time being I think you have enough on your plate (no pun intended, but you don't even come close to looking like you're 190lbs) to keep you busy through the winter months of which we all get to officially welcome on December 21st.

Seats feel great. Comfortable and light years more supportive than the stock seats. Depends what you use the car for. If it's more of just a touring car, then the stock seats are fine. The seats do make the car feel sportier and you feel more connected to the car. As if a Corvette needed to feel sportier lol, but it really does.

Hardest part is talking to a camera. I'm still not that great at it, but that's what editing is for lol. I use my phone for everything, with a gopro here and there. Before starting I watched a few channels that helped greatly. Think Media, Roberto Blake and Nick Nimmin. You can watch videos for days on how to start and grow on KZfaq, but just getting the first video out is the hardest part. Then you'll figure out things that work for you or don't work for you. Just have fun creating and the rest will take care of itself.
