Here is my Corbeau A4 with the shaved seat bottom, look at the height of the inside bolster and you can see how low your **** is down in the seat compared to falcondrivr's unshaved one.

When people think it's a new car men get envious and loose women want to date you. When loose women want to date you you get cocky and try to show off. When you try to show off you lose control and slide off the road and wake up in a ditch. Which leads to new round of addressing bumpers, re-sprays, etc. Not to mention replacing fender clear bra again.

Don't end up in a ditch! Do not replace clear bra in the first place!

PS. Yes, preceding was a blatant rip-off of DishTV current commercials. But the reasoning still holds a lot of merit, no?

PPS. Hank Moody is my hero, kindred sole and idol all in one.

LOVE IT! But I still think you should replace the clear bra!

I have a cashmere interior as well, but I am not as bold to pull off the blue seats
Too bad they don't have a tan leather option.

Bra replacement shall be done. I just have to take a deep breath and try to get the old ones removed. I anticipate bits and pieces.

On Corbeau seat... I've tried a few and had A4s many years ago. For some reason I could never warm up to them. I think Recaro, Sparco and OMP make better seats. Corbeau is less expensive in some but not all cases.

6'4" and it's tight, but workable.

I'm only 6'0 and I prefer to have a proper upright seating position all the time. My head hits the roof on freeway bumps and with my helmet on I have to tilt my head a little to the right. Needless to say I have a stiff neck after 2+ hours of driving at DE events with my head tilted.
Those Corbeau A4's look great with the custom leather!
