Default what do you think of these seats?

I am thinking of replacing my factory seats with these. I am having trouble finding seat covers the right color.

Not bad at all, I like the natural color. You have a tan or linen interior?

I do have tan interior. Thay are aftermarket seats from Jegs. I have looked at rennbay's covers but he is having trouble finding the right color vinyl. It is a strange color beige I guess. I am changing the carpet to a darker color and would be willing to dye the door panels and stuff. These look like they would offer some side support and may be lighter in weight than the stock ones. I am not sure yet I am still waiting to hear from rennbay on the color.

I looked at the jegs seats too lemme know if get em before I do so I know how the install goes! It's hard to find setas that match the linen interior, I don't like the material that the rennbay ones are. Nothing against travis his stuff is excellent but the material doesn't suit me.

I will let you know. I am thinking of calling jegs to see if I can get a sample of the material. I am also going to wait a little longer to see if Travis can get some matching material ( I sent him sample of mine).

Those are great seats and you will enjoy the recline functionality still. I have a one piece and believe me, your back hurts after about 4 hours of driving in it

I kinda like those. I've been looking for some factory sport seats, but you can't find them in linen/tan easily, and to buy a set that needs work and then recover them is very costly. After seeing the pic of the Jeg's above, and then seeing the price, I can't help but wonder if I should just look at some of these.

Do you know if there is a dealer in Atlanta that sells these? I'd prefer to sit in one before buying. Let me know if you do end up getting them. Would really like to see in person.

Thanks, and good luck...

Just a reminder, I still have a seat group buy going on. So if you see anything you like (not those) ask for a quote. I question the quality of those though. Even in the pic they look somewhat cheap.

Actually, if you zoom in on the seams you'll realize that the stitching is of higher quality than the 944 seats.

If I get enough money for my 86, I might consider these as my 84 seats' bolsters are falling apart.
