Default Are Sparcos too ricey for SC's??

I really need some new seats in the lex and really like the way sparcos hug you in the seat and i dont want leather cuz it makes my a$$ and back sweat like crazy. any other opinions would be appreciated and i dont wanna spend more than 1k for a pair.

IMO it doesn't match the interior, unless you have a track look to your car. The sportiest I would go are the supra seats.

Could go both ways. Depends on color and style. GadgetSC is a good example of not rice, but classy yet sporty.

There are way too many variables that you should just sit down and think about.

You cannot just say Sparco seats + SC's = ricey.

What about the theme to your car? is your car for the track? do you keep it clean?

Just think about it. It's just common sense if you ask me.

the car is a work in progress right now, ive still got to paint it and put the wheels on and a drop.. im going for the more agressive look instead of the VIP look. the seats are probably gonna be gray and black which will match the inside and outside of the car.

Go with Bride, you won't regret it. And no, racing seats are not "ricey", especially if you have nice ones. Ricey = racing seat style seat cover
