I think that it would look really good if your were to get 4 racing seats. 2 for the front and 2 for the rear. I really think that would be sick!!

was gonna click the "Don't care" button, but then saw the OP (sigh).... Okay, here it goes... DAMN TIM! HAVEN’T YOU DONE ENOUGH???!!!!
J/K~!
Having sat in the passenger seat during your slightly spirited run, I'd say the coupe seats are quite sufficient. However, it's unlikely that your addiction will be fed by keeping the seats you have... therefore I'd suggest something totally uncommon... I have some quirky ideas but would never suggest spending the amount of time, money and prototyping it would take... but... I work with @ss kicking aluminum welders (working on underbody bracing)... and have access to quality upholstery shop... the sky is the limit!
Also there is a shop in HB, Ca that does composite drive shafts (I’m working with them on a possible single piece CF drive shaft)… I can see if they can fab a CF seat frame – then upholster in lightweight material (I like neoprene)…
Getting into big bucks – big spender!…
