I'll take mine in Mustard with raw carbon backs and polished hardware.

Awesome looking.
Too bad the brackets stop at (year)85.

I think GMonsen first posted that pic...

I was interested in the seat. I emailed subesport and they said flat out that it wouldn't fit the FD....

I asked for dimensions but they never emailed me back.

I don't think that seat is practical unless you already have three widescreen TV's in the trunk and a sony playstation in the ashtray.

An X-Box wouldn't fit in the ashtray. If you're intent on keeping the X-Box, try mounting it onto the fart-can exhaust or passenger side-skirt.

These seats were covered in the current Sport Compact Car Magazine (FD on the cover with "Drift Dreams" background).

Why is that?

How are they less practical than the stock seats?
They look like they have more lateral support.
They are made with a very high quality Italian leather.
They are supposed to be very light.

I think they would be a very good replacement for worn stock seats.

I agree Ccarlisi,

but to each his own...some people like the aftermarket racing seats. For me these seem like a nice compromise of luxury and performance.

The price sucks but oh well.

Seats look pretty good to me. But I think I would still go with a pair of sparcos for my FD.

7racer you're right Gmonsen did post a pic of them awhile back. We first saw them in an issue of european car. There was a nice shot of the carbon fiber back side of the upper half. Gordon was thinking about replacing his sparco Milanos with them. Ultimately, he ended up replacing the entire car instead!

I believe he was told that the Cobras are slightly narrower than the Milanos. I do not think the Milanos fit well in his car. The driver side Bolster came into contact with the door panel and the adjustment hardware had to be removed.
