I PMed you and lol trust me the fact that it's a tight seat is a good thing. Even if I were to be fat I would still order a tight *** seat for the passenger, solely to keep those who are fat out of my car.

I don't really consider 6LEs seats ...racing seats per say. They are however a great set of replacement seats for our fbodies under a great price.. but they don't have the aggressive bolsters that are meant for racing and some of the other features that are usually dominant in racing seats. But if my stock t/a seats were in shitty condition I would take advantage of his deal.

You are talking about my "6LE Seats", he is talking about my "Racing Seats". The racing seats have the shoulder bolsters...

I'm glad you are enjoying my seats. They are in fantastic shape. I cleaned them prior to your arrival by the way.. but I didn't heat treat and leather condition them that much. Next time come over w/ your camaro and we'll pop a few brews on my porch =]

yeah I was skeptical too, about purchasing cloth recaros.. but after sitting in my buddys integra type r's recaros and my other buddy's SRDs. I was convinced that it would look fine. plus the SEMA camaro had these seats and it looked great in the cabin.

I used to think like that until I got a Cobalt SS which had Recaros from the factory . It just makes the car 500% more fun to drive , more so in the corners .

Nice choice on the Recaro's man .

I love my recaros in my TA, makes long rides a blast.

thanks man, been awhile since I've seen your whip. which seats do you have? evo 9 or 8 sportlines? I was actually considering to get evo 9 seats, cause I found a set w/ 20k miles on them being sold for $800, but I opted not to get them cause they weren't as supportive and i would have to mess w/ altering brackets to fit them..but they're sure as hell comfy. I'm not a fan of the evo 8 seats, but for your NBM I would think those would match nicely.

I used Recaro fbody specific brackets and sliders. bolted right in.

Looks great! you can't beat the feel of Recaros. I love to have a set of factory T/A Recaros for my TATA!

I got the seats from a membe on this forum for $1500, brand new. you can only purchase recaro speeds from online and because of that you have to pay the shipping charge...but normally they are like $1900-2000 w/ the recaro sliders/brackets.

I used Recaro fbody specific brackets and sliders. bolted right in.
Where can you get the fbody specific brackets and sliders? I only found them for corbeau seats on thunder racing
