Vintage style seats?

I'm looking at acquiring some vintage looking seats for my 7. Something roughly period correct (moreso for early than later FBs) and so far what I've found most closely aligns with my vision is the Corbeau Classic:



This is roughly the look I'm after, no headrest and all. Damn the safety.


Anyone rocking something similar?

In the 80's it was pretty much "go Recaro or go home."

^I concur, look for something similar to Recaro LS.

I think Corbeau's GTS II look more period correct for the 7. Those buckets in the first post look better in a 50s or 60s roadster.
