Default Leather or Bride seats for the soarer?

I have been thinking about getting my car custom upholstered or going with some leatherseats.com leather. A friend recommended i go with bride seats but I was a bit hesitant because I did not want the car to look boy racer.

I am not trying to go for the Import/Drift look with the car and I am not exactly looking to go VIP style with it either.

I just plan on keeping it simple and clean with a wise front lip, very aggresive offset work wheels (deep lip) and very low stance.

So I need opinions....change the cloth out to leather or go with some black bride reclinable seats (not red like these pics)

I took some crappy phone pics with the stock seat next to the my friends bride seat to give you all a idea.....all opinions welcome!

i don't think the pictures are working, but based on your description of your car so far, I'd go with the brides.

Pictures don't work... I'm kinda torn too... Although I think you'd like leather better.

yes, they also have a black/white leather recaro seat if you didnt want blue. all you would need to do is figure out how to wire wire up the motors.

Kinda hard for an import not to look like an import

Recaro makes a leather sport seat that is bucket and stock looking. Best of both worlds.

the s4 seats look similar to the ones in kaotiq's post but with less bolstering. ooh and wiring up the seats wouldnt be impossible either, it can be done u just need a wiring diagram, and the knowledge to read it or know someone who can.
