Default anyone with racing seats? Pics??? and some other Q's

I tried the search function, but it completely blows lately so I must ask: can everybody post pics of their aftermarket seats? My driver-side bolster is getting pretty bad so rather than have the fronts reupholstered for $$$, I thought I'd just get some aftermarket seats, maybe Jegs or something but haven't decided. One question though: I won't be going to a four or five-point harness, just sticking with the normal seat belt, so what kind of problems will this cause? I know stock seats have that little redirector on the headrest for the seat belt...I took it off and the belt didn't really seem to come across that high on my neck, but does anybody have first-hand experience with this? Thanks~

it cuts across your neck without having harnesses.. wearing a collared shirt helps though

those are nice seats, that is definitely something i'm considering for the future. Getting rid of those heavy *** front seats will definitely save some weight.

Just a heads up on the Procar one: check the dimensions on it. 14" wide in the middle??!! I had a Corbeau A4 (same dimensions as the CR1) and it was snug on me, and I only weigh 135lbs so pick according to your body size. I'm still up in the air myself. I can't find any measurements on the Jeg's seats.

Corbeau CR1

Procar Rave

Arizen Seat

Yeah but the CR1'a are about that "In The middle" and 18 at the lower wings
Looking at the sizes they're all about teh same size....

I have nothing to support it but I believe that JEGS Seats = Matrix Seats
