cmon IMO that **** just ain't worth it. i think they look ugly too. for 1500 i'd expect some gucci leather or some ****. But a riced-out looking ugly excuse for a seat? I'll pass!

The target demographic for Bride is not rationing their money and trying to decide between seats or "a new audio system, new intake/exhaust system, new tires n rims...." It's a high-end product, and its priced accordingly. Want cheaper seats? Try eBay.
That said...I personally would not go with fixed racing-seats for a street-car/daily-driver unless it was the lower bolster style, ala Sparco Roadster. Dropping yourself in or propping yourself up and out of a fixed seat day in and day out will get old pretty quick, not to mention a limited range of motion once you are in. I have a Recaro SPG in a car that sees mainly track-duty, and I would not want to get in/out of that for a 2-minute run to the grocery-store to pick up milk.
Ideally for me, it would either be a pair of leather/Alcantara Bride Gias or Recaro Sportster CSs (OEM RS4 seats in Europe). You get the best of both worlds...all the comfort you need for the street, and sufficient support for the track...
Or OEM Ferrari seats. Now if I can only buy the shells...
