Pretty interesting, do you have any upclose pics? Do they make a black and grey like the Spearco Torinos? Would these be comfortable enough for a daily driver with a 33 inch waist? Also any pics in a max?

Thanks!

Any clue on my other questions? I saw on another site the grey and black mix in suede and the regular cloth, can you get those? Is it going to be $300 shipped for 2 seats and the sliders/brackets? and what about the seatbelt harness?
Thanks again.

probably a dumb question, but what are the advantages of those seats over the stock ones that would justify the price?

What about the back seats? Do they sell comparable back seats? I mean, I wouldn't want to have two different types of seats in my car, that would look ugly...

JustMaxin96:If DAD makes them I can offer them. Price does not include shipping. Just sliders are included.
RusoTuristo: Justify the price?? Just look at them.
Maxxxed: LOL, there are no back seats, i have never even heard about someone wants to put racing seatrs in the back.
NiNe7-Gxe: yeah, nothing to go with the tan.

I have these exact seats in my integra. They are lighter than stock, that's for certain. The cloth is not as nice tightly stitched as the sparco equivalent but for daily use, its comfortable. My fear was having the material snag or have a thread pulled but after a year, they are just as good as they are the day i bought them. I have them in red. The seats themselves come with universal sliders. Just have to buy the seat mount that bolts down to your car's chassis. The seller didnt inform me of this when i bought the seats and had to spend an additional $120 for the seat mounts. Apparently having different mounts allows these seats to fit in different cars. I dont know how this would fit in the maxima but they were pretty low in the integra. My car's lowered a bit so it really wasnt a big deal but i dont know how i'd like them in the max.

The back rest of the seat is wider which allows for the driver to be hugged along the sides. Perfect when your cruising on the high way. Chubby guys and girls will probably find them restricting and maybe feel a bit insulted. hehee...

LIke i said, i have these in my Integra and always get complements for them. im interested in seeing if any .org member has them in their car.

Yeah seriously.. I'd strongly consider these if it wasn't for the lettering.. Its just kinda strange to have "DAD" embroidered on ... people will look at them and be like wtf??

Hey how much if I were to get two seats plus two brackets as part of the GD? If you get it down to be less than 400 for the seats, sliders, and brackets I might be in on this.

Even $1000 would be a good price for all that stuff.

on the D A D thing...I just think it would look retarded?

I've seen slammed95's Corbeau seats, and they seem pretty nice for that price. I have a hard time seeing how these DAD seats could be that much cheaper, but still have comparable quality/fit/features, etc...

The whole DAD thing is funny to me. It does say D A D but its written cool. As for the price, they are so inexpensive because i'm giving you guys a crazy deal. These seats look great!! I'll post shipping rates soon.

How are they constructed and what kind of history does the company have?
Fell off a truck.. lol, no.. I'm just passing on a good deal through my company. The company has been making seats for awhile now, I see these seats in many cars at shows..
