Default (~*My Custom Arizen Seats!*~) *Updated install pics*!

Finally, they are here! It took Arizen 2 1/2 weeks to build them. Here are a couple pics they sent me before they came. I will get better ones soon. Please, do not ask me how much they were. To respect the pricing process of Arizen, I will not post or PM anyone the price. Mark, the person who I have been dealing with, is a great person. He really took the time to go over things with me in detail. As you can see from the pics, I went with all black leather with black "suede like" logos. They give it a real classy, rich subtle look. In some lighting, you can barely see them, and in direct light, they really stand out. Mark also went out of his way to finish off a long term project for me, the f-body seat belt holder. These are the only racing seats I have ever seen with them. I am really happy to have these as they will ensure the safety of myself and passgengers. The quality and comfort of these can't be beat. The lumbar is actually very comfortable and you can also put it all the way down if you don't like it. Thats it for now until tommorow! Call Mark for anything, and tell him Michael, his recent customer, sent you. I am extremely happy with these seats...best I have seen.

So did you get a one person only deal? Not quite understanding the 'don't ask me how much' deal. The seats look good, but I guess you don't want anyone else to get them since price is an important part of the equation.

Best of luck with them and take some pics when you get them in the car.

Some people get good deals and respect those that gave them one. Did they mount that belt guide or did you?

Its nothing personal against anyone here. No, I def. did not get a special price by any means. When your doing custom work, the price can change, esp. since this was the first time some of this stuff was done. So I don't want people calling him up saying, "hey, why is mine this much?" That is the reason why. Throughout this build, I have built a friendship with him and want to respect how he prices his projects, thats all.

Not posting the price doesn't make any sense. You could help them get more customers!

I completely understand what you are saying, and respect that. At first it just sounded like you got a one off special pricing. You could have just said that you paid the standard price of the seats of $xxx.xx and paid extra for the custom work.

They still look great and can't wait to see pics of them in the car. The seats in the camaro vs. Trans AM is one of the main reasons I bought the T/A over the camaro.

Once again, they look great.

Pics installed and also a small writeup of what sort of brackets it took to install these seats. I want to upgrade the factory leather bucket seats in my Camaro, but I have no idea how some people mount aftermarket seats.... are the power slide/tilt/raise functions retained?

Yeah Mark is a great guy....

Those look great ..that the one advantage of going thru Arizen Vs MadRacing..the ability to customize the seat. The do all stock colors I believe in leather or vinyl..

BTW did you mount the seat belt loop or did they?

Arizen mounted the seat belt holder and from my understanding, it was not as easy as it looks. I also ordered their special brackets that are suppose to bolt onto their sliders for an easy install. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I know I'm going to lose power seats, but I don't care too much about that. Hopefully, I can get some pics up tonight!

Those are the nicest aftermarket seats I've ever seen. And I, for one, fully respect your decision to not post a price. I get so many PMs about my wheels, and any time I post the price, there's always one person who'll say something to the effect "whoa, you paid way too much. My TT2s look way better, and only cost half that." **** gets old FAST. So F*&^ you internet bitches!

Okay, I'm done ranting. Was this a one time only custom deal for them, or are they thinking about doing a production run of any sort? I've kinda wanted some nice aftermarket seats for my ride, but I've never found any that had the detail work that these do. The seat belt guide is such a nice extra that many people don't take into account at all. I don't want a damn 5 point harness when I'm running up the road to Wal-Mart...I just want the factory seat belt that doesn't rub on my neck funny.
