small update..

powdercoated the side mounts in silver vein and chromed all the other hardware. just waiting on the brackets from wedge engineering so i can put them in. next is getting the centers redone in thick memory foam and maybe some diamond stitching.




started messing with my taillights again after almost 2 years. should be finished with them by the end of the month (pics to come)

Is there a reason you choose to go with the Non reclining model of recaros? Just curious. Did you just like the feel of real buckets better?

There is nothing that fits better or feels more comfortable than a fixed back seat.

the foam itself will be about $100-150 per seat. then i have to buy a nice leather hide to wrap them. and of course pay the labor for stitching. im hoping it wont be more than $700-800 in total.

Very cool idea and look forward to seeing more

I spent that money on a custom ATi damper/crank trigger pulley setup today
