I'll have more pics when both of them are in...so far, the first one went on stock brackets with some modification. As you can see, these are taller than our stock seats, so the only problem is that when you tilt it to let someone get in the back, it touches the t-top roof. (but I expected minor things from $300 with shipping for both). Another thing, the seatbelt gets too close to your neck. Other than than that, see my other thread for a full summary. When I'm finished, I'll let you guys know how it all went.
here is a link to the actual seats...

thanks for the feedback so far...for the back seats...I might order black covers for them from katzkin interiors out in Cali. Its not so bad considering there is a black/camel theme in the interior. At first, I did not like the interior, but I do get a lot of compliments on it, and people that don't know these cars too well think its custom.

That's good that you fabbed up the stock bracket to fit, most aftermarket seats it's impossible to do that.
I was worried that the seatbelt would be a problem but I'm sure someone will come up with a fix for it.
Nice work, they look great.

That's my main concern with aftermarket seats is the damn seatbelt.

Kandy..thoes look look great...DAMM! I shudda bought thoes...
Confortable...hows the height?
1. Unscrew the belt holder at the base (you'll need a #6 "star" driver) and pass it through the seat back holes...works great..and get the belt away from your neck...
I just popped my stock seats back in so I could take the aftermarket seats to the upholstery shop....GAWD the stock seats suck! After only a week in my new seats Im spoiled...
Have you seen my post on how to mount up the stock electric seat? its out there
