Lets see your aftermarket seats!

I've been too lazy to take pics, but I just got in some Sparcos. An Evo for me, and an Evo-II-US for the passenger side (to fit a wider array of instructors and riders). I've test-fitted the Evo-II-US, and can confirm it does barely fit in our car and doesn't hit the door plastics. It's tight though, and you may end up having to mod the seat belt receiver mount if you're using stock belts. I also had to mod (heat + bend) Sparco's slider handlebar to make it a little wider (it only works using the inner holes of the seat base, and for this seat you have to use the outer holes, which sets the tracks further apart), but otherwise the Sparco base + sliders + sidemounts worked for this. The Evo-III almost certainly wouldn't fit without hitting something, if it even makes it onto the base ok.

Thanks for the info.
