Was a Ebay vendor that makes them by request. The company is called “dashrestyle” The wheel was roughly $900.

Just ordered these seats and they'll be here this week. Everybody who gets em, loves em, so it's a no-brainer. Nice update vid 👍
Nice man. Let me know if you need any help with the install. Thanks for tuning in. 👍🤙
How have the seats held up?
How are the vette seats(.??)
Link?
Love the silent cruise at the end. Bravo Zulu.
Im def going to check those seats out ive had my 2003 z06 since 2012 has 185k miles bought it at 60k and drives strong still. Lovin the interior you did.
Driving is easy to love when you have a car that you love.
I came here for the corvette but Im staying for those kitchen walls. Looks incredible lol
wow your car is beautiful, I love what you have done to it!
Any seat can be good when new. Long term durability is the key.
Agreed. I'll do another 6 month update for sure.
If your steering wheel angle is off center after replacing the steering wheel, then alignment is not your issue. You can alter steering angle by adjusting toe or resetting wheel placement assuming the steering wrack doesn't force the steering wheel into only one position.
I installed these seats on my c5. Thanks for the how to. Much better than stock. I just wish they were ventilated like on my c7.
Awesome video man,
Thanks man. 👍🤙
its crazy how the seats are now more than double at $309.
Lexus LFA!?! Let's see that car! Happy you like the seats.
I was gravelly mistaken it's a 350 F type. 😂. Still a nice car though. When it comes to Lexus I am kinda lost. My bad.
@@VetOnVettes that’s okay. Your Uncle probably tells his friends that you drive a Chevette. It’s still a Vette!!
@@04corvetteguy hahahahahaha. 🤙👍
Just ordered them for my BMW Z3 I think they may be to big but if they are I'll put them in the Silverado drag truck or the wrx lol
Not sure if you had the steering wheel centered when you put the new wheel on? Still, you could toe in the FL and toe out the FR on the tie rods until it feels centered, then correct the total toe in/out to get everything centered again... as long as the wheel is centered on the rack. :)
Thanks for sharing. Would love to replace the seats on my c5z06, but I haven't seen anything I would consider a direct plug and play solution yet.
Thanks for the ideas and thank you for your service.
There is a notch on the C5 wheel. Can ONLY go on one way unlike the C6&X7 where you can just move the teeth a groove or two. 😔
Great video, really well done!
What year is the vette?
I am looking for one now, I have built many when I was younger and now is the time to do it again.
Your car is great, love the yellow color
I was looking at a ZO6, 2006 but it was really rough and I do not want to do a frame off resto at this point in my life, I won't live that long lol
Great video, great car and I just joined your channel
Thank you again for a great comprehensive video

I do not miss Virginia. I like the Corvette though. However I did enjoy fishing for croaker fish at a pier in Norfolk. I’m glad you did the steering wheel swap I was wondering if that was possible. The interior looks very well.
Will these seats and brackets fit a C6 Z06?
Nice Vette and content shipmate! BZ
Thank you! Much appreciated 👍🤙🫡
Enjoyed the video sir!
Thanks man 🤙👍
Thanks I watched it
Love your channel. Looking to steal your head unit and seat ideas for my own yellow c5z. One question- do you think these type of Amazon/ebay seats would hold up at a track day?
Going to do another update covering that 👍🤙. I will say they are 10x better than stock. Thanks for watching.
Good job, bruh. What is everyone doing with their old stocker seats? Can you sell them?
Sick video love to see that Lexus review!
They make seat belt guilds, its by braum they're 40 bucks for both sides
Cool car dude, I couldn't help but observe your head stereo unit. Can you tell me what type or brand it is and where did you get it. Thanks in advance for reply. Peace.
I have a video dedicated to that install if you are bored. About 8 months ago. The unit is made by "joying" and is a 8.8" 1.5 din.
@@VetOnVettes Thanks dude.
I would like those seats for my 200 C5 roadster, and the Steering Wheel.
Never mind about the steering wheel. I just read the link on it. Thanks.
Thanks for the great content.
Do you know of any decent twisties in the area? Stumbled upon this channel and I'm newish to the 757 so anything to get me out of the city would be nice lol
Twisties are hard to come by. But a lot of fun country roads out in Suffolk or 17 north of Yorktown.
Link to seats and brackets?
Do you have a link for the steering wheel? And Gots was the install?
I’ve watched numerous videos of people installing these seats and universal brackets. Drivers side went in no issues. The passenger side has a hump on the inside front. This houses a sensor. The bracket it resting on the housing. Not even close to the bolt. Has anyone have this issue?
Interesting 🤔. I remember that little hump installing them and the bracket sat on top but reached the bolt no issue. I'm on a work trip right now but can measure mine when I get home. You could possibly make a adapter to raise the bolt seating? 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Thinking about the red seats they offer how do you think that will match up with the torch red panels? I’m assuming you had a reason for not doing the full red seats. The really sucky part for me is the brackets you linked to are no longer available.
I would like to know the name of your new steering wheel you put on your yellow C5 and where did you get it? I love that steering wheel.
Is that squeaking in the video your seats? Sounds like your sitting on a bag of chips
Combination of the seats hitting the seatbelt receptacle and weird wind noise. I'm in the process of dynamating the entire car and rectifying the noise. It's not the seats. It's the cheap plastic trim that makes the noise. 🙄
That's Corvette life lol squeaks and creaks everywhere!
Do your aftermarket seats with the sliders have the same travel? When I swapped mine out they do not seem to go back as far as the factory seats..
Just got these in. Is it possible to get a list of the hardware used? Also did you raise the front at all?
Great video 👍
Are these good enough for long trips or anyone with back issues? Got the money just not sure if they would be good for those long hauls. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Being short as hell, I have the stock seat at the upper most setting. Will these put me down further in the car? That's my biggest concern.
Thanks for the update on the seats. Is the squeak when going around turns what you are talking about annoying you? Like a leather rubbing sound?
Thats not the squeak... What he is talking about is the joint part for the back of the seat is up against the interior plastic panel where the bottom of the seat belt comes out. it's a very tight fit on the driver side compared to the passenger side. The squeaks are just all around in the interior unless you use felt tape literally everywhere plastic meets.
What is that noise in the video? Is that the seat or center console?
Do you know where I can get the seats brackets I can not find them on Amazon or eBay thanks
What brand are those seats? And where did you get the bracket?
Can you install this on any car? I have a vw 1996 gti trying to see if I do this.
How do you deal with height. If it's too low. My concern with my g35
How are the seats holding up ?
The interior squeaks are the most bothering to me even present in your video, but I've been in old gm cars a lot. Aside from that, going from a 91 camaro to a 2000 camaro and now my 2000 c5 coupe, I love it...
Are you still running a stock leaf-spring suspension system? I have coilovers and those along with the seats improved the car greatly in overall feel.
Where did you get steering wheel?
Your handles should be on the left side not right side maybe you have them on the wrong side.
Will these fit the c6?
Yes
Thanks
