This car is for driving; not looking at.

The LWB seats are an abomination. They are uncomfortable while driving and very difficult to get in and out of. Also, the seat back is wide. I weigh 165 lbs and found myself being jostled side to side. My 4 ways seats are infinitely more comfortable and provide all the needed support for track work.

That said, the LWB do look much better and APPEAR better suited for the car.

Or just eat more fajitas so you fit the seat better.

EXACTLY! Plus the wrap has the added benefit of protecting whatever paint is chosen. Seats have a high resale value. If you don't like 'em or don't want 'em - sell them and put in whatever aftermarket seats you prefer and put the difference in your pocket.

If I were buying the car to keep for many years, and really hated all the standard color choices I still would probably get factory paint and wrap it. That way I can change the color if I tire of the wrap, and the paint beneath is still perfect.

I am not sure.. I will leave them alone for now. I am more a "stock guy".
