Default New seat!

This seat actually belongs to my brother still unless I decide to buy it from him. It's a memoryfab carbon kevlar wide version bucket. I figured I'd take some quick shots of it. The seat was a huge pain to put in the car and you can see some wear on the center console leather and that was just from taking the seat in and out about 10 times. Whatever the seat is made out of seems to be very durable or that leather/vinyl on the center console just sucks.

The seat is comfy as can be and totally changes the way the car feels and definitely in a good way. As you can see it does sit quite a bit lower which is good for someone like me that's 6'1" Hopefully with the seat lowered I'll be able to get the harddog bar in just fine and not have my head be right against the rollbar.

Looks great! I may have to move my Sparco seat over and put one of these in the driver seat!

These are nice seats, but I'm really not feelin the way they look in an S.

seats go under the function over form heading as far as I'm concerned though, so if they sit well,

^I hear ya. I'm not a fan of the way the top part of the seat is. They do look a heck of a lot better in person though. I still pay pass this one back to my brother and get a recaro pole position.

They are definitely comfy and perfect for any of the bigger guys out there.

I almost got a pair of these seats but after seeing that the weave is right where the bolts bolt to the rails I changed my mind. I would hate for anything to happen.

We'll see how it holds up. It's my brother's seat and I'm not sure how long he'll let me hold onto it without coughing up some $$$ Not sure if I'm gunna keep it or look into a recaro pole position.

i dunno... it doesn't really look that great in my opinion...

im a smaller guy, but your seat looks like its reclined too much and sits too high, not to mention some weird bulging in places and scrunched/wrinkled up fabric

but hey, if it sits you well and its comfortable for you, then more power to you. seats are things that you directly feel 100% of the time you're in the car, so they better be to your liking!

The seat was left with a little more recline b/c I daily drive the car and it really does help make it more comfortable. The fabric material is really nice but I know exactly what you mean about the wrinkles material in a few places. They really only show up right after you sit in the seat. After an hour or so it seems like the foam underneath works the wrinkles out. You really can't see it in person though or it's much less noticeable in person. The flaws of this seat really come out on camera.
The biggest thing going for me with this seat is the size is just right for me.

I'm trying to find someone local that has a pole position so I can try that out.
