just wait until you see mine! It has taken them 2 and 1/2 weeks to make them. They are gonna be amazing! I also had the rear seats finished. I actually have the pic right now, but I'm waiting to post it up.

arizen did everything. It is taking them a little longer...you will see why. It matches the front seats but only has 2 horizontal bars instead of three because our center stitching on our stock seats have function to it (it cannot be altered).

Get a cheap cloth back seat and have it recovered... No point in recovering your leather that you can actually sell to someone (as a set at least with the fronts)...

True.... Maybe I'll just sell them as a set, but who ever buys them has to give me their rear stockers.

That should be an easy deal... Also, in case they are putting them in a third-gen or just want to buy them outright, I'm sure there's plenty of stock cloth back seats that could be had for $50... Maybe less for crappy condition ones...

WORST case scenario you just remove the stock leather cover yourself and sell that...

I am wondering about comfort. I am looking to get a set but i just took my corbeaus out of my camaro b/c i have some friends that can't fit comfortably. I'm a 34" waist but i need some seats that will fit wider people too. Its a DD.

Making mounting brackets are harder than I thought... It would be 300x easier with a template. And I'm not paying $150 for Arizen's brackets and then having to wait 5 weeks for them to make them. I'm not gonna have free time to work on it till the week end, so I'll post my progress...

I bought their brackets. It took me too much time to make brackets the last time around. Sure, they were expensive, but when all I will have to do is bolt them in.

You said it was tight around the hips... how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

Also whats the comfort like compared to the stock seats?

Are they doing custom leather yet? I contacted them back in March asking if I could get custom colors (and opt out of having the shoulder harness holes - I will never have a harness in my 94Z). They said "Summer". I contacted them in the Summer, and they said not yet (again). I have not talked to them since then though...

one more ? What in the hell do you plan to do with the seatbelts? They are going to be by your neck which could cause serious injury or kill you in a wreck.
