I'll be sure to avert my eyes. - LOL

Did you have to fabricate seat rails? Or did you find some that you can bolt right in?

they are in!!!! finally in!!! havnt got to see them in the day light yet but they look sweet as hell in the dark!!

i made the brackets fit the same hight as the stock seats cause i dont like the seats that make you feel like your ass is on the ground and you can bearly see over the steering wheel

it took me 2 days to make and paint the brackets, had to change my disign many times because of that damn computer under the passenger seat but i worked around it and they fit perfectly and still recline and side back and forth like the stock seats. im so happy, best $400 spent on the interior i would say. next for the interior is to make all the plastic vynal covered :) that will be fun

sorry for no pictures as of yet.. my camera has no batteries cause i have a cordless optical mouse and these batteries kick ass as for how long they last, im going to charge them up and take some pictures tomorrow morning before work and throw them up on the board,

you know that feeling that you get when your on a boat out on the ocean for a few hours and when you get to land you still feel like your on the boat going back and forth with the boat, well i have only sat in my seats for 30 minutes or so and i still feel like im sitting in them, hehe they are nice to sit in :)

What materials are they made of??

I would imagine that they were $350 each not per pair... seems like a good deal... where did you find them?

I have looked at those in Pep Boys and thought the grey or black seats would go well with my silver Lanos.

But, since the car is an automatic and I don't plan to really do anything other than an intake and possibly an exhaust, there is no point to putting in sport seats.

That price is really tempting..... I really wish I knew someone that has had these seat for a year or two so that I knew that they won't fall apart six months from now.

I still have some Recaro seats but it would be cheaper to purchase these ones than to have the Recaro seats redone.

Let me know how they stand up...... hey WooHoo, are you a big guy or a little guy???

I was just wondering how tight they are.

i am the biggest they come... so my g/f says. :wink: ... well actually, im 5'7" and weigh 125 lbs

the seats seem like they will hold up. i dont know because i have only had them for a few weeks now. the vinyl is pretty thick and when it was really cold out side they still were soft to sit on.

on the other hand, the price is good for what you get i think

Well I guess I won't be checking body fitment with you, I'm a 5'10" 235 lb ex-hockey player so I have huge legs.

I'm getting chunky since I haven't played for nearly two years so my waist is up to a size 38. :shock:

One of these days I'm going to get back into shape and get back into my 32" waistline but it's going to take some hard work ( and I'm lazy....which is why I never made it into the NHL )

These days my idea of exersise is golfing 18 holes in a power cart and consuming a minimum of one beer per hole :roll: . (trust me....it's harder than you think)
