Seat Sanity Check
 

My plan
Purchase and install one reclinable racing seat in red.
Leave the passenger seat stock.

My question
Is it weird to have one red seat and one black? Kinda makes it look like a cockpit me thinks.

Please save up and buy both seats, or at least do the driver side in black...

Also, is the price for the Stradia with a rail? if so that seems cheap..

Dude.....

ugh.... Save and get both seats.... Trust me...

Okay, this is a fair point. What if there's only a lil red :-)

Nope, this is rail-less. But shipped! :-)

Booottthhh. This aint a 1990 civic!

OH do YOUUUUU have the other $2000 ? :icon23:

Lmao hells no. Pull out a personal loan! Even at a sandpaper-no-reach-around rate of 50% apr, still worth it. Your Z deserves the love.

All or nuffin!!

Personally, if getting one seat, I'd go all black

<~~~ THIS GUY! :tup:

These seats are even in stock!

Man I wish I went with the black/red sometimes! +1 for vivid. Took care of me on my Stradias

Cobra http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...c79a380649.jpg

How about no to only one bride... :rofl2:

Agrees

Bride recaro status all just big piles of **** I seen better seats at orileys

This looks like a substantiated claim.
...anything to back that up?

Besides "the internet said so" ? :tup:

You guys think one seat in black would look weird? I was also thinking of getting an aftermarket seat, but just the driver's side and in black.

I think it looks odd, but that's just me.

I think in black it won't look so out of place. Function over form in this case :tup:

One seat in black (if the other seat is black) will not greatly look out of place.
I see it all the time in track cars, driver wants a more solid seat but not worth the cost to double down, all in your purpose and goals.

if the car is street driven, ill almost always say get a pair of seats. if its track driven, then screw the passenger, just buy one :)

:icon18: im hoping that you're kidding

Note that if you are going to track your car at all you will:

need similar restraint systems for both driver and instructor (IE, belt layouts, not necessarily the exact same seat)
need a harness IF you end up using a fixed back seat

I vote save up and get two matching seats. Cobra makes good ones too, I wouldn't count them out.

Passenger and driver need similar restraints per most clubs/NASA/SCCA (does not apply for autocross)

I have no personal experience with Brides, but go to the track and see what those people use. Cobra, Kirkey, Recaro, Sparco. Not too many Brides. They may be great seats, but I think the JDM FANBOI crowd just jumps on them too much because they come in cool colors or carbon fiber.

My brides don't have any CF or cool colors on them... Damn it I should go and return them now.

I'll sell you those too :rofl2:

I can do some status racing seats in pink with purple poka dots if you're interested

Glitter and spray enamel can fix that.

:icon18: hes right

Dude I agree not a fan of cobra seats at all. Go bride or go home :tup:

I was gonna go for the bedazzled look actually

Just wondering why people don't like Cobra seats? They are well made and they are what I use on the track. FIA approved, fit me well, fit in the car fine (Suzuka).

I think he meant unsubstantiated

Yes, but it was trying to be sarcasm... was apparently lost.

Anyway... HEY VIVID... You can't get custom Status Racing seats now.

Although a custom Bride seat would be t*ts.

Anyone know a place in Socal where I can sit in some seats to see how they feel? I know about Werkz in Burbank, but they only have some Sparcos. A place with Recaros and Brides would be great. It's a big investment without being able to test it out for fit.
