Should I get "Red" Sparco seats? or "Black" Sparco seats? Keep in mind, I have a pretty much stock black leather interior. I'm sick of sliding around in my leather seats and some nice racing seats would do the trick.

 

Man, red just screams a little too much for me. Maybe black with some red accents. Maxima seats do suck da ***** though.
I was looking for some manual adjust G20T seats or G35 seats for a reasonal price. SER seats fit/look good too.
I think you are on another budget level than I though. Me being cheap. You spending the $

 

black...and post pics if u do get them.. i would like to see how it looks

 

I vote on black racing seats.

 

def go with black

 

Definately black....the red would be too much contrast in the car.....though not a bad combo....I wouldn't go that way.

BLACK, love the thread title too

 

Given the choice, definitely black.

I'd also consider what Jeff suggested with maybe some 350Z or G35 seats. They'd look better than stock, keep you in the seat better than stock, but still look relatively stock.

 

for the black seats.

 

Red is pimp.

 

get red. cuz red rice is better than black rice...

 

red = rice

black = nice

whatever your trying to go for do it!

 

Tony, IMO...these would own in your car and it's not TOO rice at all.

black seats w/red harness'

 

uh no I'm not.

 

damn yO! that civic is hot!

 

RED

 

Hotter than 95% of the Maximas on the org...yes.

 

black .....

 

the recaros in the gti 137 are real cool, but if you don't want leather, i would go with black with some grey accents

 

theres someone selling red sparcos in the for sale section

 

I'd vote for black.

Tony, there was a guy in the 4th gen forum that put 350z seats in his car. Looked sick and had the racing seat theory.

 

I'm with William on this one. I like the black torino seats but the red would be a little too much. You don't want to rice out the car with red, it's soo pretty already.

 

i would never trade leather for cloth....
don't buy cheap seats they wear out and the metal piping digs into your back.

if you want to be noticed get a bright color.

if you want it to look good and flow with the rest of your car get black.

 

Yes the red does stand out, but in some cases it looks good like in the Civic hatch I posted (IMO anyway). But yeah it would probably look out of place in a big sedan like a Maxima...this would look better.

 

I think those Torinos are completely wack...

 

black seats with red harnesses works well.... in my red car.

 

Matt93SE:

How much did the seats run you? Also what model are they?

I don't like the Torino either. It's either going to be the Siena in Red or Monza in Black/Red.

 

I got a bit of a hookup on them. They're Corbeau CR1/Carerra seats. After shipping, 4 pt harnesses, and mounting brackets for both seats, they ran just a hair under $1k for the pair.

 

Black, and I hope you are working with OEM brackets or have a good fabrication shop, because otherwise you would need to buy the brackets from Corbeau and thats another $200. Anyways go black, red would be fine if you had the rear seats reupholstered in matching material but otherwise go black.

Want to sell your seats Cyrus?

I would have to purchase slider, base and adaptor. Slider and adaptor would come from Sparco but the base would be fabricated by Wedge metal works out in cali. They are the company that makes Corbeau Maxima specific brackets. Wedge metal works can pretty much fit any racing seats into Maxima.

 

Yup.. the brackets are about $75 each IIRC.. they're not too bad. of course there's really not that much there on them (about $6 in metal), but it's the engineering and labor that you're paying for.

 

I was under the impression that they would need your Maxima there to engineer them? I know the mounting bolt holes would be the same for Corbeaus and Sparcos but seat size could require different mounting on the bracket. Anyways as long as you have a plan you should be good.. just don't go through Corbeau for the brackets, they're mighty expensive(especially considering you would have to modify them)!

SpeedCrazie: Sorry man but that's a no, I haven't even had the chance to test them out myself!

gross. simply disgusting.

 

What exactly can be gross on that car, pathetic bandwagon hate.

 

Personally i think that car looks good. Especially with that cf hood.

 

Someone has their head on straight

oh and Custommaxima is having a deal where you pay 99$ for a carbon fiber dash kit and let them take pics of ur car for their site...i may have to jump on that.

 

^^^^^^ yes, matt's black w/ red harness is the best combo i think!
