I have a '99 as well and the only reason I'd purchase Arizen is to have the matching color. I wouldn't be able to stand black seats with grey interior

i was thinkin that if it bugged me enough that i could just rip out the back seats and put in a rear seat delete

now the question is will i have to make any modifications to get these mad racing seats to fit in my trans am other than making 6LE's custom brackets?

Black in grey sucks. I converted my interior to ebony and like it now... If you can afford the Arizens I would get the Arizens.

To me they look like the same seat just made by different people. Price wise I think $1500 is ridiculous for a pair of front seats. Buy the $500 set.

Just to make sure, the $1500 is for both seats, in grey REAL leather, with factory style stitching and factory seatbelt guide added correct?

If not, and it is just the same thing as MRC but in grey then don't be retarded...

I wasn't a fan of the contrast of colors in my car, that is why I changed to ebony...
