depending on where you're from- Evo's are played out..

to me this modded max is more mature than any evo any tuner can cough up.

so kudos on the awesome choice of getting a max instead of an evo.

Mack, I can add a 2 temp aftermarket seat warmer for about $100 and hook it up to the factory switches. I think the heating element slips under the leather covering.

An Evo is a crappy car (Lancer) with $10,000 of stuff on it (arguably).

My seats are in conformance with my plan to enhance what the Maxima already has. The seats generally look like OEM seats - same color, similar size - but more aggressive and lighter weight, yet still user friendly. My car is lowered but not slammed. My rear spoiler resembles a G35 coupe spoiler, but slightly more aggressive. Its mere coincidence that the gear shift **** and e brake handle are from an Evo. But they are made by Momo for the Evo and they are very beautiful units.

IX = 9

XIII = 8

and i heard heated seats were a real pain to install.

but those seats look nice. you should do both fronts.

Lookin good Deus, a little splash of red (trim, stitching) would really make them pop. Have a great time at SEMA.

Damn. Those are a perfect mix of sport and comfort and match the interior. I have had a seat swap plan on the shelf for a few months because the seats were too ricey, wrong color, etc. Love what you have done.

Well I have had about 10 hours of seat time in my drive to Vegas and back, complete with freeway being shut down and making it a 6 hours drive up there instead of 3 hours. When I got out of the car, I was not stiff at all. VERY VERY comfortable during all 6 hours of driving. My lower back muscle pulled right before I left Vegas for home tonight. The nice lumbar support actually made my back feel BETTER!! Im really pleased with thse. Id like to see more people with seat mods.

Those seats look perfect in your car. I'm tempted to get my own recaro seats, but not sure if it would work in a 5.5 gen. Also don't want to deal with the probs that you noted....unless theres an easy fix lol but things are never easy with these maxs.

Love the interior!
