Default Bargain Racing Seats...

I've got one exactly like this at home. I got it for free. -Found actually. Was going to get thrown out.. ...don't ask. Scrounging has benifits.



I was going to throw it in the car, but
1- It doesn't recline, but it's wicked lite.
2- I'd like some red accents.
3- It wouldn't be practical for a pass side seat. -if I get a second one.
4- It's my game chair at home (NEW Need For Speed! )

I know Thunderracing has some good Corbeau seats for a good price. Again, I'd like black w/ some red accents. Fairly resonable pricing... Around $250ea.

Any links, sponsors, ideas??

-Thanx

This would also look ghetto as hell if I just had ONE racing seat and the pass side stock.

I'm debating on stripping the interior. Want to take the back seats out to scrap 30lbs. But I don't want the car to loos function as a DD. Noone sits in the back and I do agree w/ the other thread, as far as people sitting behind me = I don't allow it. Would give me a place to mount the Nitrous bottles when I get the Dry kit.

Ehh.. I'll putz around w/ it at work today... Yes I can work on my car @ work. I'm on call and not doing anything anyway.

One racing seat is meant for racing and keeping the driver stable. Who cares about the passenger, lol.

I know, but it would still look pretty ghetto w/ just one. I'd like a matching seat for the passenger side.
