wow...those look freakin' awesome!! imo

I still cant decide between the leather or cloth though.

2 reasons: cost
and it gets pretty hot here in TN. So shorts are a must, and i would rather not burn the **** outta my legs when i sit down lol.

Ive driven on some serious hot days, Ya leather gets hot but I used a towel if I had shorts on. This winter I saw some 10 degree days and the seats stayed suble, no leather creaking etc.

How wide of a waist are these made for. Most usually list that. I wear 38's. Am I going to fit in these?

It will probably be tight. I wear a 34-36 and fit in them perfectly.

I was 36 for a bit and they fit fine. I'm 32 now and I can tell being 36 they eventually widened a bit because the passenger side is tighter.

I'll ask Gill though, we was around there and sat in them...

Nope because you can't tell a difference looking at them. Just feels slightly different (leather is a little softer), grain is the same...

Sorry it is not. I had to get mine done locally but I only paid $200 to get them pulled (embroidered somewhere else for $40), the center's restitched in houndstooth and my seat belt guides stitched on...

It's pretty annoying people need to make up their minds. If someone revived an old thread they get **** for reviving and if they post a new thread they get told to use the search.

I used the 6LE brackets they made for the seats.

They sit high in the car though.

For the price, the Corbeau seats with their brackets are better. But I do like the 6LE seats. They look very good in the car and are very comfortable.
