Will there be options for color? Any chance we could get them in Classic Grey?

Darin,
When are you going to do the rear seat delete and RS carpet kit?

I am sure we would all like to see that too!

Fizzler,
Those look very nice!

But I also noticed the SKAT Blast cabinet in the background. Love mine.

I have mine set up in a clean room with a 23,000 cfm dust-extraction unit keeping any particles at bay.

I don a new clean suit every time I enter the room, and dispose of it when I'm done.

I'm doing all I can.

Patiently awaiting a price range.

However, don't you think it's time for a new handbrake lever to match?

Boy, spending other peoples money is easy!

It's an ever evolving project.

Look great! Do you think they would fit a 6ft 250lbs guy?

I am 6' 1" and 190lbs and they fit me very nicely. I'm not sure how they would fit larger guys. Mark's about my height and got wider shoulders than me and he sat in them and they seemed good.

If price is right and I can get it in tan leather, I will drop by to test them and place an order.

Thanks !!!

PS: I have 2 sets of tan seats for sale !!! One set is manual the other is full power with black piping.

Stop on by and check them out.

Great analogy. I totally agree!

I expected nothing less from you. I just added it to my arsenal. I haven't really even used it yet....but soon! I got glass beads, and the soda side adapter too. It should be fun.

Darin,
Have any ladies set in them yet?
My wife has to be comfortable too, and many of these seats are not well designed for a woman's hips.
thanks,

I'm going to assume that these seats have an adjustable seat back (one that can also be leaned forward for rear ingress (I'm probably going to regret those last few words)

Oh yeah, what was with the Maserati engine in your avatar the past few days?

We had a Maserati Quattroporte in the shop for a brake job. The brakes are made by Brembo. You want to talk about expensive parts!!! Factory rotors and pads were around $3000. We went with Formula Dynamics (FD

) rotors and pads. They were $1800.....

It is a very interesting car. Ferrari designed engine. Very pretty and once you shift to sport mode with the paddle shifters, the giant heavy beast is very fast. We will be doing an oil change on it soon. You have to use special oil (high HP stuff made by Quaker State) and was told that if you go to the dealer, the first thing they do is sample your oil. If you are not running the "special" oil, you are not covered under warranty.

I'll let you know.

You lobbed that that one right up there!
Yes, they unlatch and lean forward giving you normal access to the rear seat area.

No hole.

Do they center up nice?

They are set about mid-range height to the factory seats. There is some room to lower them more by re-drilling the side mounting brackets I would think. I am 6' 1" and have good headroom, although I haven't tried them with my helmet on yet.
