$$$$$ $$$$$

I saw a picture of those in a review of the Tokyo Auto Salon, they look awesome.......and very expensive! What is 150,000 to 160,000 Yen equivalent to in USD anyway?

Good old www.bento.com say it is roughly $1500 - not too bad at all

I can't read Japanese, but I would assume it is $1500 for each seat - it is only another $500 on top of what reclinable Brides go for now (speaking MSRP), and these look like they may be worth the extra money especially if you are tall or want to sit much lower. They also look like they don't weigh as much as the Ergo's, Brix, or XAX's - they might be along the same weight as the Bride bucket seats

Of course we'd have to find out if they'll even fit in a S2000

Where is evo S2000? Maybe Jeff can get some better information....

Since we're talking about seats - I noticed that Veilside is coming out with some too - anyone know anything about those?

Well the page links to a seat rail fitment chart that has the S2000 listed so I assume it does fit.

We're just full of assumptions on this one

I assume this is the seat fitment chart you're reffering to: http://www.bride-jp.com/products_lm_lr_tekigo.html and if so, nice find - I try not to click buttons that I can't understand - never know what will happen

I PM'd Jeff and I'm pretty sure he's working today so maybe he can find out a little more. Hopefully he won't make an ass out of our assumptions

So you don't like this blue seat?



I'm loving this one:



That looks like Carbon Kevlar in the back - which you can't see when it is in the car
