It appears you have Sparco Roadsters! Did you have to remove your stock seatbelts to get them to fit? What mounting hardware did you use? Stock Sport seats with electrics and hardware weigh 45 lbs each, what do you Sparcos' weigh?

Inquiring minds want to know!!!

Trying. Not yet. I wont pennie my car out. We will see though.

My seats are Sparco 2's. They are brand new for 2005. They are VERY light dont know the weight though. They are mounted on Hardbar brackets. I am pretty sure the Sparco brackets will work. I did have to remove my seatbelt base to get it to fit. They are very comfy.

Cool interior, and, nice Sparco seats, Jon. Frankly, I still like seeing pics of your custom ride.

Markb, you should take a look at the Caravaggio seats. They are the best, imo.

Forza $200 on slide $75

Comfortable enough for long trips but I switch it out when not racing. Can't beat the price.

I have been kicking this around for 2 years now. I have looked at both Caravaggio and Vette Essentials and am not sold that that is what I want. It appears that you can have any racing seat covered in custom leather. My car is basically a daily driver; I really want the upgraded look, still maintain comfort (hopefully improve) and have the added benefit of the seat providing more support during cornering. Anybody research this and knows what fits and will allow you to maintain power controls/seatbelts?

Thanks!
