Default Installed Jeg's Sport Seats

Seat is installed. Took like 4 hours trying to figure out how to go about it.
I bought these Jeg's universal brackets and they didn't work. Too small. So what do we do? Use the stock trans am brackets!!!

My friend drilling the holes for the customization!


Finally in the car!


Seat compared to the stock one.

The seat barely fits. Sits right up against the center console. It's also taller than the stock seat so you'll hit your head on the ttops when you're getting out if you're not careful.

They're really heavy and seem really strong. They dont look like they cost so little. If installation is easy and they fit well, they're highly recommended.

from the front it looks really gigantic, do they feel too big ? How comfortable are they? Does the material feel like it will last a while? and how much did they cost shipped? I would love to get some red and black ones in my car

no they dont feel too big. They're $180 shipped ($200 for you because you want the red insert) because Jeg's had free 2 day nationwide delivery. Mine actually came out to $240 something because I bought the brackets that didnt fit, but I didn't need them anyway because I used the stock sliders.
The material feels good. It was easy to cut through when I drilled the holes in the bottom, but it seems like it'll withstand some wear and tear.
They are pretty comfortable. I still have to get used to it because they're a little taller than stock seats.
