Lets see your aftermarket seats!

Any aftermarket seats with airbags in them? Same as factory.

I'd love new seats, but don't want to compromise the safety of the car.

All though they dont have air bags, you will have the option to wear a race harness.

I only have one right now, due to the fact
a) money
b) passenger doesn't need one just yet! lol
c) i will be ordering the low thigh bolster one for the passenger seat. Easier in and out.

yeah...idk. lol

LMAO at the ghetto math comment, there are two in the picture that i just grabbed from the internet, the other will be ordered in the coming months, sorry to mislead.

If anyone wants to fund my passenger seat pm me ill give you my paypal!

Also most cars don't have an appropriate mounting point for the shoulder straps. If they aren't mounted properly they can be much more dangerous than you would ever get from an OEM belt. Done properly there is nothing wrong with them, but most people don't mount them properly in a street car.

Very true, not sure where the post is but Travisjb had an excellent link & post on mounting points, angles and force applied with harness straps v. OEM setups. If I can find it again I will link to it.

Here is a great pdf from Sparco about proper installation and maintenance of a racing harness: Harness Installation and Maintenance

That one may have been, I know it went into a lot of detail like that but both are very good reads.

Yea, if you get a Katzkin leather interior... You keep the same functionality as the factory seats, but with a different look... Check out mine in the previous pages.. Or in my album...

Older Brides from my previous build, repainted in Chameleon Flair (the same as what I sprayed on the exterior). Both are on Bride rails, with Corbeau harnesses.
