Got them for $910 Shipped, so pretty inexpensive compared to most. Yes they are the same seats in the G85 package.

I was lucky and got them from somone on ebay, they were replacing theres and didn't need the stock ones anymore. Tell the dealer they might be able to do something for you if they look up you VIN # and get a part #

Very nice looking! How do they compare to the SRT-4 seats? (The non air-bag equipped ones) I sure wish a vendor sold them...I can never find them on E-bay!

910 $ it would of been more bang for your buck to go ahead and pay 600 $ more for the g85 package and you would of gotten the back seats and the LSD. All that said they still look pretty good. I do think that recaro seats are terribly over priced.

If you actually price GOOD aftermarket seats , and no Im not talking about the 1 piece race type seats , the Recaro seats are a BARGAIN .....and dare I say cheap by comparison . The same seat on Recaro's site is just about a grand for the Trendline , which is what the SS seat it . After 17K miles , the leather is still in perfect shape too , its hasnt got shiney like alot of cheap leather and NO wrinkles at all .

Cevypowered - Looks great man . You now have a copy of the GM 05 Victory Red press car . It has red insert door panels and back seats with the recaro's too , hehe

Keep a eye out here too . I find ALOT of stuff on there . Plus most of these salvage yards are not in the "loop" of whats popular , so prices tend to be a little lower . There are exceptions though

Ya agreed, you really need to get that mesh netting done in red. It really looks odd with the red inserts on the doors and back bench. Just my opinion though.

The back seats are just the plain ebony ones that you have to order in order to order the G85. I know I said 'order' a lot, but it makes sense.

I knwo i wish i would have gotten the G85 package, but when i bought the car no one knew about it at the dealer and i really didn't know anything about it. I will have possible the first true aftermarket G85 package when i finally get my LSD in. Thats for the compliments, I love my seats and i think they look great in there.
