I like them a lot. I'd get them if I wasn't fat. LOL. Red stitching looks really nice. Just don't go putting any gay red panels in.

I love it. The only thing I don't like is that the rear seat leather and steering wheel now don't match which would bug me to no end. Any plans for that?

Looking incomplete with the front seats being the only ones with red stitching. But I like where it is going.

I love it! Thanks for posting the pics.

Were you able to keep the driver's side power seat? How much more comfortable are they compared to stock?

plans are in motion for the rest of the interior cause it does bug the hell out of me...lol. my drivers seat was manual to begin with so i just went with the brackets from 6LE. and they are MUCH more comfortable than stock and they hold you in place much, much better. they need a little more lumbar support but, i'm going to add some more foam to remedy that.

they don't come with hardware to mount the rails to the brackets so, be prepared for that. and the holes didn't line up perfect...no big deal, nothing a little grinding didn't fix. and on mine for some reason the holes on the tracks were difficult to get to...they just didn't quite slide forward or rear enough. but that's not on 6le cause they get the seats and rails from another company. nothing major...just full disclosure. overall, i'm VERY happy with them. and they weigh a TON less than the stock seats. i'd love to see pics of your seats with the "gay red panel" lol...i bet they look pretty sweet...

I bought the exact seats that are in the picture. mark was selling his. so the brackets and everything are aready attached to the seats and all. so hopefully its not too bad. but nothing i wont be able to figure out.

I'll post up some pics when i get them in and put in. Shouldn't be too long. I also got the back seats and custom gauges from 6le while they lasted. So it should all come together nice.

That look great, I'd like to add a set of them to my interior if I can't find a decently priced set of T/A seats when the time comes...Oh yea and I too vote against the red door panels.

So I take it you didnt buy the 6LE brackets?
Im planning to buy a set just like those as soon as the tax return comes in. Planning to buy the brackets though so I dont have any install issues to work around.
