Inexpensive Type-R seats with harnesses?

I'm looking at inexpensive black racing seats for my 03 beater G Coupe, wondering if anyone has any experience with these or something similar to them? I don't need anything fancy or flashy - just inexpensive, functional, and at least reasonably comfortable for short distances.

I realize I will lose several features by swapping the original seats out, including airbags.
I also checked the marketplace here for used alternatives but didn't see anything comparable or in a reasonable driving distance.

Thanks

Thanks Taylor. It is a beater, but I'm sick of those bulky flattened old seats. They sure aren't working with my plans for the car, either.

North Jersey, Parsippany area. I appreciate that, and I know beggars can't be choosers, but I'm avoiding stock seats. I'm looking for something other than a big, cushy captain's chair. I don't care if they are used with minor tears, either. Prefer something a little more sporty.
I looked around Craigslist, but didn't see anything G related.. just a couple generic seats in the NY area. Then we're talking questionable bracket replacement and the added cost of those, too.
Thanks Taylor.

corbeau may be a good option for you
They make a pretty good seat quality wise and offer good pricing

Nothing pops on Craigslist for Corbeau or 350 seats in my area. Guess this is just one of those things that is going to get thrown to the backburner for now.
