Default *both custom seats are in!*

I still need to do some adjusting. The drivers seat is sitting up higher than stock. Personally, I like a lower feel, so I will take out one spacer that I used (if I can). As I said in my other thread, these are taller than the stock seats...when you lean them forward to let someone sit in the back, they hit the roof. That is not a big deal for me b/c no one really sits back there. As for the seatbelt issue, I will be using our stock holders (I'll spray them black) and I'll mount them so the seatbelt is nicely in place and across the shoulder properly. They are pretty comfortable and have a nice custom look to them. For $300 shipped, I can't complain. Feel free to ask me any ?'s...also, I need to clean the fiberglass with some polish so they may seem a little dirty. Sorry about some of the pics not coming out so nice, I wanted to get these up for everyone quickly.

thanks for looking...

here is when I only had 1 in...

Looks great.

Can you post a pic of them leaned forward for rear access (like the last pic but leaned forward). You mentioned in another thread that they hit the roof.

I'm not sure, I should have put them on a scale but they are pretty dam light.

I saw that pic, but I cant tell from that pic. Its too close, the top part of the seat and the area with which it interferes is cut off.

here is where the seats hit the roof/scrape the t-top plastic...this is the only thing that pisses me off a little, but then again, there is still access to the back seats and no one sits back there anyways. And for $3 bills shipped, I can't really complain.

Finally! I was waiting for these pics.
But I'm still waiting for the pics on how the seatbelts sit after the stock holders are in.

they will be similar to how the stock seatbelts are right now. I am going to mount our stock ones just enough so the belt feels like the stock seats. They should sit nice.

bitviper: it sucks that it has turned out to be an 8 day job, but I'm sure your seats are gonna look nice as hell when they are done!

hitting the top doesn't really bother me that much b/c I think they look so custom and exotic looking.

looks great... and an awesome price (i may do these instead of buying custom seat covers)

what did u do for the brackets

in my old camaro i cut off the old brackets and welded a piece of 1/4 steel to the stock brackets.. then drilled holes in the steel to bolt the seat to it.....the passengers side sat higher but the drivers side was lower (because it was in a 95 camaro with the manual "rocker" seat and i didnt convert that over i lossed about 2 inches)


how is the clearence from side to side do they hit the door panels cant really tell from the pics
