I really want a pair of brides up front. I'll probably end up settling for something a little less though. I just want something that hugs me, I'm tired of feeling like I'm on a park bench.

Even some of the Tenzos look half decent, but I couldn't buy a seat without sitting in it first. When I sat in the Zeta II I knew I wanted them.

Ive thought about installing aftermarket seats as well, but the cons still outweigh the pros.. BUT if I did, this would prob be the only seat id use.

Recaro style Topline

http://www.recaro.com/index.php?id=5111&L=2.

at least I can retain heated seats, and its leather.. I would love to run Brides, but the only model they make for larger drivers is a non-reclineable bucket. FTL, damn tiny japanese ppl!

Not further back, my head gets to close to the headliner sometimes.

anyone have more pictures of the seats? i'm pretty bored with the car and i wanted to get 2 front seats. like something that can still bolt up orginal seatbelt harness...

I assume we can use a 350z tracks to bolt up. and the seats all bolt up to the tracks? SO we dont need a specfic track to seat type of thing?

I bought a Z seat and never installed it.

It's mint lol

I'll probably put it in the Z because it's in far better shape and just buy a recaro or bride. Not like they lose resale value.

I was looking into this thread and I realized, red leather bride's wouldn't look too bad with my black leather rear seats. I just think if I had suede seats in the front and leather in the back it would look a bit tacky. Although, I didn't want to lose my electric features lol (raising, lowering, back/forth) my stock seat can go pretty damn high!

I also didn't want to compromise the "luxury" look of the car so I'm stuck lol. My front seats are torn, and I don't wanna pay a lot to get my stock seats fixed when I could just get a nice pair of brides.

Getting your stock seats fixed would be a LOT cheaper than a set of bride seats.

As for the suede and leather, you just need to add some other suede parts in the back, etc.
