I have a great upholster guy you can call.
Those are really superb seats, and SOOOOO exclusive. I'd get them if I were you.

CP, I'm very aware that $2500 is the low end 
These are in a local car, and my personal favorites. IMO the polished side support looks great against the all-black interior, but it might be too much bling for some
Jim M, beautiful job integrating the sub belt!

No slot for the sub-bely is not fatal....if,..
you are willing to mount the sub-straps in their usual spot behind the drivers seat, and you sit on the sub strap. If you ever make a sudden stop (Read impact!), you may ne on the fast track for the Vienna Boys Choir!

If one plans to track their car and want to get the most out of a race seat, it should have a minimum of padding and provide for a maximum of butt feedback. Some would go so far as to mount their seat rigid, to the floor, no sliders (I am guilty of this!).
I had EVO II seats on sliders. I had the sliders removed and drivers seat mounted to the seat mount attachment receptacles, rigid. Damn, it was night and day...the feel that I got from the rigid seat was drastically better than what was available with the EVO IIs mounted on sliders.
In conclusion, for those track junkies that do not want to compromise, if you have the incliniation, and you are handy, it may be better to have a dedicated track seat that goes in the car just before going to the track...and during the non-track times, drive on a Sport Seat or some other such cushy seat.
