FS- Black C5 Sports Seats, Memory Foam & Insulation Package
I just completed the modification of my interior with new leather, insulation and foam. Link below:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...rior-pics.html
As a result, I am selling my lightly (10K butt miles) used OEM Black Sport seat skins.
I am also selling a set of unused memory seat foam from DJ Motorsports and the new, still in box, MadVette Insulation Kit. These were components I was planning on using for the project, however chose to stay with the regular OEM replacement foam (wife liked the regular foam vs. the memory foam) and I added RaamMat and Ensolite in favor of the MadVette pre-cut kit due to the planned Tunnel Plate install next spring. 3 layers would have been overkill and a tight carpet re-installation.
This entire package is $425.00 including S&H. PM me if interested.
* Package Sold - Thank you for all the interest!* 11/20/11

It depends if the full package offer gets enough interest. I'm trying to break even on the new/unused components if possible. The foam and insulation new from supporting vendors is around $290 so the seat skins in this package are only $67.50 each. Brand new OEM reproduction black sports seat skins from MA are upwards of $800 a set.

Thanks for the replies so far. I've been traveling on business most of this week and didn't have a chance to check in.
I've received multiple requests for pictures of the skins alone, so I will take those this weekend and post them on this thread. I will make sure to include some close ups of the driver's side bolsters.

OK, I pulled out the skins from the packing box and took some new photos. I tried to get some good close ups of the driver's side seat and side bolsters as I know those tend to experience the most wear.
What was amazing what that when I removed the skins for the new leather, even with only about 10,000 miles on these seats, how the OEM foam had already worn through on the driver's side bolster near the door. Therefore, it's a good idea to wrap the OEM bolster support frame with additional foam, Gorilla duct tape or the Vette Essential felt ears I used in order to protect the new foam.
Another point of clarification...I am only including seat foam with this set, not seat backs. DJ Motorsports does not make memory foam for the seat backs, just the seats. You will need to use new OEM foam or reuse your own.
