Anyone thinking about swaping out 370Z seats?

Although I would like to get aftermarket seats, I don't want to give up the airbags in the seats. That risk is not worth taking.

So this weekend, I modified my driver's seat so that they were more comfortable for my big a**. I took out the bars, and bent the lower frame lip so it wasn't verticle and poking into me. Much better now, and relatively easy. The only thing to think about is with a different seat, you will have the SRS light constantly blinking in your face - you will have to overcome that. Also, if you do take your seat out temporarily, maybe disconnect the battery before you unplug the seats, so that when you plug them back in, you don't get the light. I didn't do that, had the light this morning, and had to go to the dealer to have it reset. By the way, it is real simple to take these seats apart (common tools).

This is the biggest piece I miss from my X. Anyone know of any adapters?
