That looks great man!!

I wanted to get the SS embroidered on the headrests, but I would want it right where the harness opening is.

What kind of turn around is there, on these seats? I'd want white leather (my SS came factory with it) and have the rear seats covered to match, with the OEM style stitching the sponsor was talking about doing.

Arizen's turn around varies. If he has the material in stock it will not take more then 2 weeks I am sure. He will get on here and can explain it better for you I am sure.

Our average turn around time is 3 weeks. Black leather is sometimes quicker if the hides are already in stock.

2 more questions,

What is the weight difference between the arizen seats, (loaded,) and the stock seats?

How do you do the rear seats? Would I just send you my rear seats to have them re-covered?

Thanks

Tom

I don't know the weight of the stock seats. Our seats are about 37 lbs with the sliders. The mounting bracket is probably another 5 lbs so you would be about 42 lbs I think adding everything together.

We ususally just send you the rear cover. Most people find they can get it installed locally for the same price or less than paying shipping both ways to send the seats to our factory plus our installation cost.

The bottom holds you very well. We had complaints that the back allowed you to slide out easily which is why we developed a back with deeper/snugger bolsters.

So with the new and improved mounting brackets, the seats will just bolt on to the car and fit the way they are supposed to? In other words, unbolt the seat, remove the factory hardware, attach new brackets on seat then bolt seat in....and that's it?

Basically. You remove your seat, then you bolt on the new sliding seat adjust, then bolt that to a new mount then into the car. I used a different mount then Arizen has, but they are not hard to make if you have too.

I am about as handy with a car as your average 3 armed racing monkey...so everything has to be "plug and play"...yes, I am a computer guy.... I could never fabricate anything that fits right, hell I did my headlights myself and my buddy had to fix the one screw I cross threaded....that's pretty bad since there's only two screws involved in putting our headlights in! :lol

We just made a set of seats in a black cloth combo. We used the factory cloth used by Honda in the 06-07 Civic Si. We made one set with deeper back bolsters and red double stitching just to see how well the fabric would work on our seats. We love it! If anyone is interested in this set pm me.
