I wanted to add some type of two-tone color scheme to my seats I was going to get leather but down here in south Georgia our summers get real hot. So I decided to get some racing seats.

I got these seats off Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2479693172

Along w/these 4-point blue harness’

I went to my local junkyard and got some stock seats out of a wrecked Maxima $25.00 for each seat and I removed the stock brackets from the seats and fabbed them to fit these seats (a week of test fitting) so they bolt right in including the stock seat belts. These seats weigh the same as my stock seats 31.5 lbs. so there is no weight saving. These seats are soft but firm I like how they feel. The 4 point harness really hold you in the seat.

I also dyed my trunk panels to match my black carpet. I went to Advance Auto Parts and bought some Dupli-Color interior dye ($5.00 a can).

I also added black carbon fiber look vinyl to my door panels.

And the mods keep coming... Nice work there Will!

 

Very Nice, Love the black Trunk scheme

 

What is the 4pt harness bolt it to? Don't tell me the floor or the seat brackets. If so I'd get it fixed ASAP. Only CORRECT way to do it is to have them bolted into somwthing behind the seat. If they are bolted to the floor, when you brake suddenly the harness wil compress your spine and you'll still go forward instead of getting pulled back against the seat.

 

Very Nice!

 

looks good

P.S. I have the same exact seats for sale for $275 CT area pickup.

I paid 150 + shipping was 150 but i wanna get rid of them so ill let um go for 275 if someone picks um up. They also come with universal brackets you can mount to the stock brackets and fabricate them

(sorry for whorin your thread man )

 

thanks they are bolted to the rear bolts of the seats to the floor

 

That fire extinguisher on the pillar is a scary place to put it. Dont want to have that hit your head if it ever comes loose

 

Looks good Will

 

If you don't use the shoulder belts and only use the lap belt you should be fine. However if you do use the shoulder belts they'll do more damage than good.

 

Good job, looks good. Hey, when you say fabbed, what exactly did you have to do; cut, drill, weld? Please elaborate. I wanna do this cause I hate the factory seats. This might be a how to's candidate.

 

you have to drill holes in the oe brackets and get longe bolts etc..etc..fab is just a relative term...just let your mod skills take over if you get some I'll help ya ..holla...

 

The trunk looks 100000000x better with the carpet dyed. The box looks like part of it instead of like it's just sitting there. Great job. As for the seats, I love the look of them (and they look comfortable) but you might want to consider using the harnesses for show only. Stock 3-point belts will protect you much better in a crash. Not to mention the fact that if you crash and roll over, harnesses will not allow you to bend so you don't get crushed.

 

thanks for the heads up....

 

NICE mods....way to go...looks real good...good color choice.

 

Looks good will... Is someone trying to be 1st at NOPI ?

How hard is it for a muffler shop to weld up something that can be a bolt on for use like these?

thank you my lil aspiring nephew...a write up not anythime soon but ya know me I like helping others so who knows...

 

will what year trunk mat is that?

 

I used my stock mat and cut out a pattern on some black automotive carpet....

 

How do the seats feel after you have used them for a week or so? I am interested in getting some race seats but i'm torn. I'm not sure if I should get ebay seats or if I should shell out more money to get sparco

 

like everyone else on these boards I will state my personal opinion and experience I'm 5' 7" 180lbs I like the seats and how they feel you are sitting more up right and must be a in "race ready" position in driving which makes you keep your hands on the steering wheel and pay attention to driving the car and there is no slouching down in the seat so your driving position is safer for you it takes some getting used to compared to the stock seats as w/anything you are used to for a while then a sudden change you will adapt to it....I use my stock seatbelts when I drive the 4 point harness limit your movement they are just for show anyway...

 

nice observations WIll.....BMM...4 evA!!

 

I got my Diamond plate door sills and installed them today
They come w/3m tape on the back so just clean the surface of your sills real good then apply...



I bought from.... http://evolution-autodesign.com/

 

If you're on a budget, go with Corbeau...
