I wouldn't mind getting like a 5 point harness, this won't work with my stock seats so I was beginning to look for aftermarket seats that don't look to cheesy? Any ideas?

I saw some photos online and forget where, any way they had split red and black leather work done on the entire interior of this Z06. It looked great, I'm near certain they were stock sets though. Looked cool.

Depends on your intended use.

Below is link to the seats I have installed in my C5. I road race the car frequently and use these with a 6 pt harness (Team-Tech). IMP note: In most cases if you install racing seats, you will be disconnecting the air bags (which are not a good addition on the track).

The reason to install racing seats is to keep your body steady and isolated from movement while generating G forces in turns. That allows you to keep a light touch on the steering wheel and stay focused/relaxed. For a 100% street driver application, I don't recommend.

PS. If you intend to race or do HPDE's, everyone agrees: go with a 6 pt harness not a 5 pt. Better fit.

Thank you Tom, am I to understand these are the seats that you have in your car? If so do you have any photos that you can post so that I can see what they look like in the car? Thanks again!

I was trying to post the pics from photobucket, not just the link. Any trick?

Those look great, are they from your car?

Yes. They are not great for street driving, but on the track they hold you in and are tremendous. Great move if you plan to RR frequently or attend HPDE's regularly.
