First of all I apologize if this is in the wrong area. If this belongs better in interior then I will have it moved.

I am interested in fitting a 1 piece - non reclining seat - into my s2000. I have seen the aftermarket seat thread and while that was cool to see all the different seats, no one really said much about their size or if the glove box can still open. While I wont be tracking my car anytime soon I have had a one piece seat before in a previous car and was happy with it.

What I am looking for is a one piece seat that I will fit into just fine. I am 5'7 and 140lb with a 32" waist...and I have broad shoulders. I fit into the stock s2000 seats just fine but need to have them reupholstered which will cost the same as a new seat all together. I have found some seats by OMP, Sparco, Recaro and Bride but so far the only company that puts out measurements of the inside of the seating area seems to be OMP.

What I am considering so far:

OMP WRC - just looking at the measurements it looks to be a good fit for me.
Recaro, Sparco and Bride - seats in the $700-$800 range.

My other concern is that my "glove box" still open up ok and that I wont have issues with the airbag sensors since my car is a 2008. I assume I use rails that adapt the seat to my stock rails and of course I am sure it varies by manufacturer.

Anyone have input here?

 

In my 2006, I have an F1spec Type 5 on a Buddy Club rail. The poor man's solution. I am 5'10" and 180 pounds, 33" waist. The first time I sat in it, I was worried it might be too snug, but after a little driving the padding molded to me and it is perfectly fine.

The glovebox opens, and it doesn't rub anywhere. The driver's-side airbag sensor issue is as simple as removing it from the stock rail and letting it sit (still plugged into its wire) under the new seat. Passenger side is more complicated.

 

So how did you get the passenger side to 'work'? Or do you have a link to a thread? I appreciate the help! Oh and how do you like the seat?
