lol, i dont know.
but update! my seats arrived today! they are in, but sit really high. i will post up pictures later after i finish tweaking them to make them sit nicely. my only gripe is that the lumbar is a bit on the stiff side, but is comfortable for support. and i have to fabricate the seat belt guides to fit right. but other than it sitting a bit on the high side they look awesome and are decently comfy. nothing to go crazy over.

sorry i didnt check this yesterday. i just checked that ***** your car out thread and came right over. the swap looks great, couldnt tell at all that it wasnt stock. i never would have known. so your seats shipped pretty quick....now wheres the damn xbox?
car looks sweet, and you should just put a wooden bench instead of rear seats
who cares, its lost weight! although, putting a couple pillows and blankets aint a bad idea
..........obviously i mean just so its light and comfortable, nothing nasty lol

Nice man, at least you got the seats in the car and took pics 
Did you sit higher with the seats installed or are the seats just really tall?
The door panels turned out really good too. I'm going to order new carpet from speed inc and paint/dye the door panels and the plastics. But I'm glad everything is coming together for ya

the seats i got for $150 EACH. from summit. just search "procar by scat". totaled out to about $600 for both seats, the brackets, and shipping. they sat a little high for me, and needed a little cutting of the front mounting pieces on the sliders to sit lower but wasnt hard AT ALL. but they were nice seats, and are pretty damn light compared to stockers. but im going with the stock interior look. but im going to go take pictures of it right now.

these seats are much better for what i need them for:
I even tried out some armorall protectant wipes on the door panels and they look great! now well see how long the paint lasts. if this comes off ill probably just respray. so far its holding up. i have to take the side panels back off though because i fucked them up putting the seats in.
oh well, nothing a little paint cant fix.
my floor mats will be here tomorrow so i can throw those in there. still waiting on my black cat gauges and chrome vent rings. still cant decide whether or not i want billet hvac ***** or not. they may be a little much. and im still debating on having my shift **** powder coated black.
what do you guys think about the red bird on the seats? swap them out for silver? i was thinking about keeping them red to match my calipers, and interior lighting. but then again my floor mats have a silver bird on them.
now i just have to work on my interior lighting ideas:
red neon or led lighting for under the kick panels? im keeping the gauges red along with the door handle lights.

I think you should scrub down the seats with a scrub brush and a diluted all purpose cleaner, they look like they've been sitting in a tub of armorall for years. I didn't think this way about my car, but after I scrubbed down my seats and wiped all the dirt off with a towel, I realized the shiny-ness wasn't the armorall, it was dirt, grease, and armorall making it worse. Now I have clean seats with leather conditioner. I conditioned my dash and doors too, now everything has the proper, clean, shine. Soft too!

its really jsut the lighting for the pictures. they arent greasy at all. but i will try the cleaner on them. would simple green work diluted? or purple power? they are very dark in person and look a lot better than in the pictures.
what did you use for conditioner for the seats? along with the dash and door panels? if i pull these out to clean them im taking the birds off. may go with silver, or just leave them off. what process did you use to clean them? i dont think hosing them off is a good idea, probably grow mold in them.
