Default new mod PHOTOS -SharkBar, Caravaggio, Sparco

D bottom, Shifter **** Alcantara. Arm rest leather with titanium stiching




The white gloves are Sparco's arrow H7's. They stick like GLUE to the alcantara!





John is very particular with his work. Fit and finish on these seats are amazing. I chose these seats over sparco's because 1. They look like G.M installed them, and 2. there are absolutely 0 codes, and EVERYTHING works (telescoping, airbag, and heated seats). http://www.caravaggiocorvettes.com/




The Sparco harness is all pro. Aircraft style cam lock. 2 inch shoulder straps for hans. the adjustment buckles are very easy to use. http://www.sparcousa.com.





The Special black duct tape professionally installed protects the plastic sills from scraping up . It will come off when I return from the track







SharkBar from VETTEWORKS. The finish on this bar matches the rest of the the interior. The service I got from Dan was fantastic. He took all 4 calls and 1 more on a Saturday evening helping me with some final installation questions.




The bar does away with those creeking sounds when driving over speed bumps. Even if you're not going to run a harness, this bar stiffens up the chassis. http://vetteworksonline.net/
The black 2 bar sliders are from Schroth ($2.50). Sparco did not have these with this kit.




Here's what I like best. The vetteworks Lap belt bar slides right under your 2 seat bolts and gets bolted in with the seat. After the track day, I just unclip all 4 belts and go to my stock belts

Looks great, but can you still slide your seat all the way back? I threw those brackets out because I couldn't.

How are you running your sub-belts?

Are they coming thru your seat cushion?

yes, only way to do it. most of the sub harness belts are too short to go all the way under the seat and around. Besides, the subs need to be tight to your crotch. make sure you get a 6 point instead of a 5 or you may not be able to have children.

How much is one Caravaggio Seat and does it use the heaters, air bags, and inflate for support. How comfortable are they? I wish I could sit in one here in SOuthern CA. See if it would be comfortable for a two hour drive.

So you have the two sub belts going through between the seat cushion and the seat back? If that's the case wouldn't it be pretty easy just to stuff them back thru into the back are after a track day?
How long are they

I looked at the sparco link but couldn't see the set up you have......which looks great by the way. How much was the harness?

I Love those seats!!! Harness bar looks great too. Did you cut the pillars or did you opt for aftermarket pre-fabricated with th eholes already cut in?
