All I'm lookin at is a good solution to a common issue I feel will happen for any 370z owner. Barely any lateral G support because of the way the sport seat isn't really in the shape of a racing bucket. I don't need to spend $1500/seat to get the same concepts in a faux seat. I could spend $900 for 2 seats and get the same level of lateral support because the design concept is the same...
the common consumer does not need a big name brand seat, fine. some drivers, however, need that FIA-approval, hence they go for the legitimate one. with that said, i don't like the idea of buying 'fake' products, especially if it rips wholesale and makes a profit off of someone elses' work, like the fake BRIDEs are clearly doing (matching everything including logo, gradation, etc)

ibtl / this thread turning into a 'lulz knockoff parts' thread again
