I like the look of z06 seats, both the c5 and c6 and they fold forward.

Thank you guys for all the compliments. It has taken me a lot of work to do what I have so far.  I didn't want anything over the top and to look as much original but still have a modern feel to it.I have some power leather seats out of my 1994 Trans Am that I have been throwing around the idea of getting them redone to look like the original seat then installing them. I like them cause of the power lumbar adjustments i just need to find a new air pump/motor before I do it.
They are real comfortable seats.. I had a 99WS6  T/A before my challenger....loved those seats.

I thought about Camaro/Trans Am seats too, they have a very similar shape, but modern.  I found that a nice tan leather set just couldn't be had, and a new set of leather seat covers was over $700.   

I highly recommend these.  Mazda RX8.  I don't have mine installed yet, just set in place.  I still need to make brackets, but they are going to be nice.

Black ones are much easier to find, then the tan.

I really love your interior, it looks great.  Good Job Justin!

I tell ya, I like the look of those too.  Just wonder if they would sit up too high?  can you show a side shot of the door?  How close are they to the headliner?

I was wondering the same thing.

I thought about the corvette seats, but they look too narrow when they are not in a vette.  I looked a lot of seats before I settled on these.  Gran Prix seats are pretty nice (almost got those) and Miata seats are ok too.   I don't think they are too high at all, its just the angle.  They may be slightly higher then stock, but no more than an inch.  Thats a good thing for me, I'm pretty tall and the factory seats would only serve to break my neck in an accident. 
Last pic, I'll say no more about it, this is Justin's thread about his awesome interior work.

I do like the looks of those seats from the rx8 but since i have the trans am seats just sitting around i will stick with them instead of buying new seats.
