Ken or Parts Bob I need your help, and so far I'm not having any luck.

I want to upgrade my interior from all black to some form of a modified Torch Red combo. I want to start with the seats. In addition to Sport Seat covers I'm told the seat frames are all the same and all I'd need to convert to RPO AQ9 seats are new pieces of cushion foam.

Can you assemble all the necessary internal foam piece to allow me to rebuild my seats into Sport Seats. I'm not interested in the bladders etc. In addition can you include the cost of a set of OEM Sport Seat covers?

I'm sure there are many folks with base seats (Z06 owners will jump on this I bet) that would love to do this mod and replace their old worn hides with something new and better looking. For me I'm going Torch Red, with my Arctic White body I'll have the classic color combination of all time.

If you could assemble a kit, I bet they would fly off the shelves and worth the time it would take to do the research. I have a parts manual and I believe I have all the required part numbers. If you want I can provide them, I'm just not sure I'm 100% correct and ready to order stuff w/o an experts sanity check.

Tom,

Your are correct, the frames are the same. You need the three foam pads for each seat and the new covers. We have sold many sets of the foam and covers, and the actual change is not that difficult. Email me at parts@fichtnerchevrolet.com and I will get you the complete breakdown with prices. Or if you wish give me a call whichever you prefer. I am also sending you an IM.

I responded to your IM. But just in case here's my e-mail tomjacques@charter.net

Can't wait to get going on this project. My dream since I bought my Arctic White coupe has been to upgrade the seats to the Sports and add some spice by changing the all black interior to Torch Red.

I'm interested in turning my Z06 seats into sport seats. How about listing some prices to do this.

I will advise Robert to do the following this week:

Post an ALL NEW newsletter that will include:
1) NEW Weekly specials
2) A NEW seat option section:
a) A complete package to change the standard Coupe/Convertible seats to sport seats
b) A complete package to change the standard Z06 seats to sport seats
Said package to include the foam and leather covering with a separate listing of the bladders/pumps/motors to add power and lumbar.

This is Bob, I will also send another IM to you. I need to know the year and color as the prices vary depending on both. This is not a cut and dry conversion. You can call me at 406-628-4618 or email me at parts@fichtnerchevrolet.com
I am working on about 4 different sets for people now, three of the four come out a different price. This is because GM does not use straight across the board pricing.

Thanks.
