BitViper: I like the less aggressive race styling and they are very comfortable, feel and look a lot like my BMW 330ci seats. Not to mention I don’t see to many people with them.
Sgt. Spuds and anyone else interested:
I still have my carpet, hadn’t been hauled off yet…my stock interior is the Ebony black but to me the carpet was more charcoal looking. It probably looks a lot lighter in the picture because of the flash.

Im not exactly LOADED with cash at the moment, but I have a little change I can throw around, just cant foot the money for brand new carpet. Like I said, either AIM me at SixSp33dC0ke or Email me at Strang5@mchsi.com

You int color was not Oxy black, thats a paint color, the black that they use on f-bodies. Your int could have either been Ebony or Charcoal.

Still interested! Your new INT looks bad *** btw.
Not trying to get personal, but are you a small guy? Im looking into race seats when I do my INT conversion, and thought about those, but Im pretty good size, and don't know how I would fit into them..

Gee Spuds, I feel like you should be asking me out on a date before we get this personal (j/k)
It’s kool, I’m 5-8 and about 180lbs, 32-33 waist size. These seats would be a little tight for anyone much bigger. I think they fit me just right, snug on my back with a little waist and leg room on the sides, but not much.
I’ve also noticed that the car seems to ride smoother or appears too…most likely because these seats absorb small bumps better. I’m thinking they will come in handy for dating…one size doesn’t fit all
(sorry that was bad of me) thanks for the bad *** complement!

Question for you,
Why did you not just bolt up the stock brackets to the new seats? Won't they fit? Also, your interior is ebony, yes? How well does the black leather from the seats match the rest of the interior and back seats?! Any info is greatly appreciated.

AronZ28: YES and YES…these seats are VERY comfortable and not to dog on the stock seats but I would never go back now (Sorry). I also feel that these seats absorb more of the vibrations and rough roads then my stock seats did. The larger side bolsters keep me sung in place on the tight corning too….but I haven’t really had an ”OH ****” moment yet but I’ll keep you posted.
The only negative thing I would say about these seats is that I don’t like the headrest at all, not that functional for the driver. I don’t feel comfortable laying my head that far back and driving….but that’s my personal preference. I’m use to the adjustable headrest in my 330CI. I plan on replacing them later with an adjustable tilting set.
Sgt. Spuds: I haven’t forgot about you dude….things have been crazy at work. I will be at the office again tomorrow and will take some better pictures of the carpet for you.
SLPHawk300: I didn’t use the stock brackets for a couple of reasons: Mainly because I didn’t want to run into any problems with having to fabricate or modify them. This is a busy quarter for me with work so my time is limited. I’m also selling my stock seats and really wanted to keep everything as is, less hassle for me and the buyer.
However, after installing the new seats the ride height is much higher then stock and that’s with the super thin aftermarket brackets. If I had used the stock brackets the seats would have been really high.
I have to admit I was a little concerned about the ebony and black going together but it actually darkened up every thing and give it a really nice two-ton look. I get lots of jaw dropping complements about this mod, needless to say I’m very happy…hope this helps?
ls1mongrel: Weight savings…hmmm…it’s hard to say. The aftermarket carpet was really light compared to the stock carpet. Stock seats combined are lighter too but not by much. Don’t know maybe 40-60 range?? I plan on adding some light weight sound deadener soon though so it will probably be a wash.
BitViper: Thanks for the help
WestSide: Grab some Windex and clean your monitor, you must be seeing things because these seats are really comfortable. Austin is not that far wanna ride….
……Phew…did I get everybody…any more questions…..thanks again for the complements
