Can't you fix a cushion and a cover to the aluminum seats for a daily driver?

Summit el cheapo plastic seat here. 70$ and 12.5lbs. Can't beat it. But my bum went numb when I used to drive the car to the track. -Mark

I took another look at the summit seats, those things look like crap to sit in. I might just get some ForzaIIs. Thems look nice for my bum.

the summit seats (and jegs makes one just like it) suck *** to sit in, they are hard (even with a cover) highly uncomfortable, and not to mention ugly.

Yea they look like ****. Well im in the process of changing my interior panels from the light grey to the darker charcoal/black. Then im ordering some lightweight carpet of ebay. And im going to do rear seat delete, but for now i think the stock front seats will do.

I have a momo start seat in my RX7.. fiberglass 14#'s.. not too bad on long trips but not great.

They are pretty cheap a little over $200 new and they look a lot nicer than the kirkey seats imho. Good for a street/strip car that doesn't need a seat affixed to the roll bar like mine (no bar).
