not black but you can use your imagination
Im not sure if its how they are reclined now or thats the highest up they go.

If you do not cut off the stock brackets on the seats, thats the most forward position on the seats (on the reclining). I had it this way for 1 day and I realized that you need to go into further modification. It was extremely uncomfy having to lean forward so much in the seat.

This pic was with the original brackets, bent to fit the SC layout. As you can see the seat is too far reclined.






When I cut the stock brackets off the seats, made longer and newer brackets, the seat was able to sit a few inches lower in the front, which made the seat sit better in the car... further forward reclined. Remember, riding with the gangsta lean in "racing" seats defeats the purpose .



See how much less reclined it is? I think I will be able to lift the back of the seats up .5" to make it even less reclined.

If you want to make your own brackets, its like $20 in metal from ace. Cut the stock front brackets off the seats, and bend the rears to sit flat... or cut those off too. and then just measure and drill holes for bolts. or get them welded.

Thanks Gunnar. I guess they look good since my friend was in a bind and I got these dirt cheap.

Default its possible

I actually got the car this way so i don't know what kind of modifications the person did to the seat brackets, but they do lean all the way back (so its laying on the rear seats) and all the way forward to let someone in the back. The only issue i have is if I push them all the way forward and the lean them forward, they rub against the headliner, but only very very slightly. I like em, they're comfy to me. I'm thinking of reupholstering them some variation of tan and black

That's true, the better deal you get the better they look.
