Thumbs up Arizen custom seats = awesome

I'd like to thank one of our newer vendors here, Arizen Racing Sports, for their excellent communication and efforts that were performed recently. I contacted Mark about getting a pair of his custom racing seats for my '69 Camaro convertible. One thing I liked about Arizen was that I could have them custom modify the seats to my liking. That included setting the side and lower bolsters width to my size, removing the safety belt "hole" in the back, and even going as far as matching the 1969 Houndstooth fabric pattern and 2" vertical panel spacing perfectly. To make sure it was a match, they even invested in an OEM 69 Camaro rear seat cover to accurately find the correct pattern and take measurements with.

The seats showed up in two large boxes, already assembled. I just need to bolt the mounting brackets on and put them in the car. I sat in them and they are pretty comfortable seats, the side bolsters are snug also and will keep me planted in the seat. Here is an actual photo of the seats I had them design:



I tried to get Mark to name it the "NineBall Seat" but I don't think he accepted the idea. LOL!

Here is the car they will soon be going into:





I would highly recommend their seats, I'm sure this is just the first of many sets I will buy in the future.

Thanks,
Tony

By the way, if you guys want the Houndstooth look for your 4th gen cars, order a set of these front seats and then order the rear Houndstooth covers for 4th gen seats from Year One. These things look kick *** in newer cars too!

I also can't wait for someone to request Hugger Orange seats with Houndstooth. We'd be glad to make them too! Just tell us what your looking for.

We just made a set of seats in a black cloth combo. We used the factory cloth used by Honda in the 06-07 Civic Si. We made one set with deeper back bolsters and red double stitching just to see how well the fabric would work on our seats. We love it! If anyone is interested in this set pm me.

Those seats are going to suit your car to a T.


Come to think of it, I think that pattern would make a badassed upgrade for a Grand National too, seeing as it's pretty close to the stock color scheme for GN seats.
