I was just coming on here to ask this question.
If you look here it has the dimensions for the FX1 and the FX1 pro. The pro is 1/2" thinner at the shoulders, 2" at the bottom and 1.5" in the middle.
This seat looks like a steal at the price.

also, the bride zeta III is listed as fitting, but if you look at this digram of its dimensions, it's bigger than the fx1 pro barely at the shoulders...

Unfortunately, I have door bars in my FD, so I would have to cut off close to the entire wing (2-3") in order to get this seat to fit. I'm going to measure for that tomorrow. If I can get away with less than 2" of cutting on the wing, I'm going to purchase one to see how it fits. As far as getting a seat with wings, I'm SOL, unless I trim:
Does anyone else have door bars with aftermarket seats? Someone with a Raceshop 6 point will have the same/similar height as I do - anyone?
If someone would be so kind and give me the stock seat dimensions, I could come a little closer to seeing if this seat fits. A picture with dimensions similar to this:

I'd really rather not trim at all if possible. Maybe some down by the inside console if need be. I just don't see it looking nice after. How do you get the fabric to stay back over the edges after you've pulled it off? In the standard FX1 install thread posted in here a couple pages back, it looked like just the little "curl" was removed which seemed pretty small. so I'm hoping that extra 1/4" or so on each side might be enough.
What sucks is I can't go sit in any of these seats to see if I can maybe get away with skinnier ones because I don't know anyone with aftermarket seats...

^^ I know the feeling. I would really like to sit in the seat before investing lots of $$$.
Has anyone seen, heard about the quality of NRG seats? They have been an up and coming company over the past several years and produce a nicely priced Carbon Fiber seat. The small version is only 19.5" at the shoulders and 19" at the thigh. Although, it is not FIA certified.

Intersting. I'm going to look into those. All their other products are first class. Most people choose their engine dampeners and especially quick release hubs over the more expensive sparcos etc. because they work better.
FIA certified really isn't a big deal at all. Although with one, you know the seat will be good. Without, it's up in the air.

Back in the day, I remember people either modifying their stock rails, or buying a new set and getting an extra inch or so of headroom out of their cars.
I searched, but can't find anything.
Anybody heard of this?

Those non winged CF seats are made by Tillet. They make karting seats and were the seats in the G that went air borne at the Mile last October. Needless to say they are good.

Man, i've always been a fan of Cobra seats.. I was planning on going with the Racer Pro seats for my fd.. but maybe i'll be getting one Racer pro and one of these for my passenger side if they fit...
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think 22 is just about the limit for rubbing on shoulder bolsters..but thats off the top of my head.. I used to know as well. But these seats look gorgeous!

Yeah, Rick, that's one of the reasons I made my seats out of the RZ's. I didn't think these would fit. When I recently saw the new "Anniversary" Misanos, I got the hots again. Love the billet recline **** option. Oh, well. I have other cars...
Why the new user name, Rick?
Gordon

If the measurement from **** to the other side is 430mm then the base will fit but if it is 550mm then it will not fit. The OEM seat front seatbelt buckle to the other side is about 18 1/2 inches.
I changed my user name because I needed something easier to remember and shorter. I was tired of the old one and I didn't like being called honda
