eh no worries. I do have to say tho I'm happy I chose these over trying to find a good pair of del sol seats or something else, since in the end the seats I replaced were old n wearing out why continue the trend

Can you give me the vendor you bought those from?! I must have seen those like a month ago but didnt jump on it... they arent leather, right... just cloth?

I would need a shop to fit the brackets.... how much would that cost me? I am looking into reupholstering my back seats black (met a guy a while back that will do the back bench for 350) to match the front... anyone with a possible price?

I got mine from ProExhaust on ebay, HERE is a link to another sale of the same seats. Yes they are cloth, I too am not a leather fan. On the bracket I purchased THESE. I had to enlarging of the seat slider bolt holes and adjustment the mounting holes to line up perfectly but beyond that they were pretty much drop in (tho I found I had to put the front two bolts in than the rear two but I did all the test fitting before mounting the seat).
Yea the consol holds a PS2, SNES, tv, rca 5.1 audio as well as a random sortment of dvd's and such. Yes I use all of um from time to time...... gotta bust out the snes once in a while.

Nice ya those are looking really good. I was looking at the evo 8's but after considering it I dont think im gonna like the fake leather junk they use so I am going to go with these.

They are pretty much the same but cloth I am trying to get the dimensions on them but if they are the same as the evo 8s I am probably going to grab them. What do you think of them?

And thanks for the link to the mounting brackets I ordered some of those since you said they worked :P

Yea those are the same units with just the simplier cloth n red stitch. I actually wa gonna get those and took my buddies advice and got the mugen ones insteed..... either way you should be happy with um.

On the brackets, you have to bore out the mounting holes for the sliders (the holes are just a bit too close together) as well as test the bracket BEFORE mounting the seat and make any adjustments then ( I had to make minor adjustements to the inner flat plate mount to have it line up properly). Also start the front bolts in first and then the back, I found the bracket will slide back as you tighten the front ones down and the rear holes will line up. Beyond that the only other issue is needing something under the outter rear part of the bracket to keep it from being pulled down as you tighten the bolt down, other wise you'll have slightly rocked tilted seats (I know cause I do) and depending on how much you look at the seats from the front/side it might start bugging you (I know cause it's starting to bug me [&:]). Oh and you might wanna get a can of black spray paint, mine were packaged like crap and they scracthed the hell outta each other.

If you get those seats, definitely do a write up on how they feel, perform, etc. I've been considering getting the same ones.

Wow, talk about JDM...Moogly actually called it a Famicom. I bet a lot of people WTFed on that!

I'm doing some major thread jacking here, and I'm sorry. But DX, you installed your cf inserts using screws. How'd you do it...and how secure is it...I haven't installed mine yet because I was a little worried about CompositeFab's instruction to use only silicone to hold them in.

The seats look really nice too!
