They seem fine to me. I spent the last couple weeks stopping by a local speed shop every few days looking at a pair of them... I was gonna wait and order the Pro seats but decided to just forget waiting and get the econo version.

I would recommend the JAZ aluminum instead of the Kirkeys. The Kirkey is too tall for a f-body.

Do you mean you recommend the JAZ seats instead of the Economy Kirkey, or any Kirkey seat? What is the height difference and is either seat easier to install?

the JAZ seats look goofy... but they are cheaper...

I thought a lot of people ran the kirkey economy and swiss cheezed it? This was my ultimate plan.

i think the cover is what is making it look a little goofy in those pictures, i'm sure that in actuallity the sportsman series that they make wuold appear very similar to the kirkeys and you could swiss cheese those as well
