Talking Supra seats are in!

Fellows,
I just installed a set of supra cloth seats and lov'n it.
The sit position is perfect, color matched up relatively well, no more sliding around, and most importantly, no more *** burning/freezing from the leather.
Installation was EASY! 5 14mm bolts on each side. Wiring was also straight forward...basically connect the matching color wires, unless you have trouble seeing color, it's a half hour job.
The problem I have is that the arm-rest is totally in the way! It propped my arm up in a very funny/uncomfortable position when shifting. Any body have the same problems? or it's just me. The cup-holder is the same, (I do not have the front flip-down one.) I guess no more drinking in the car for me.
BYW, if anyone have a extra/unwanted front cupholder, please let me know.

finding some tan supra seats at a decent price has been a pain. all the sc owners must have the same idea.

is there any aftermarket company that make a decently priced tan vinyl/cloth/leather racing/bucket seat that doesnt weigh 900 pounds?

Are you 7 feet tall ? Cause those seat sit really low to the floor. Or did you make a bracket of some kind to add height to it?

No, stock bracket.
I am 6'1". I guess I like to sit relative straight up, so it is perfect for me.

There are a few sets of tan leather posted there. Check them out.

Seats look good !! My buddy has some in his 93 SC300 and I really like how they feel. I'm 5'7 and dont think they sit that low, just cant see over the hood as much.

Yeah even for being 6'1 it is kinda hard to sit in those and see over the dashboard.REDPHOENIX had those ,but when I sat in them damn it sucked trying to see the road or to try to park.(Phonebooks needed lol)

Get dark *** window tint as legal as it goes and you can put a full windsheild layer of tint that lets in 80% of light. I have seen people do that helps a lot.
