They are comfortable. They hold you in well... I am going to be adding heated function into them, so they will be a lot better and I will bake them a touch more padded. Car should be finished up in March or so.

Why not? I love heated seats! On long drives they are GREAT on your back. If I only planned on driving this car in the summer I wouldnt but I have winters to worry about

No. It will be leather all the way down... I was going to get Cobra seats or Status seats that were CF on the back, but I could not justify dropping 3-5k on seats just to rip them apart.

All that I have left for now, is to put the bolts down, hoses tightened up. Then run some wiring in between my headlights, mount the battery, then get the clutch in and get it off to the race shop... Here is some progress pics.

Headlights. I have to run some wiring between lights so that both run.

Everything is bolted up and ready to go. I decided to not drop the car down tonight as it is 4Am and last time I tried to take the car off the jack stands past 2AM I almost tipped the car off them..... Anywho all wiring is ran, every bolt is tightened... Car will be on the ground tomorrow and off to get the clutch done...

Got my car on the ground and all set to go to the shop! Transmission is all ready on the ground and new Clutch is going in. So, here are the Almost FINAL pics of the car... (just no bumper)








All the hard work is paying off... THIS is the first time I have seen this paint job in the sunlight. My son ( 2 years old) was SOOOOOOO EXCITED to see the tow truck and they even let him play with the switches to load the car onto the truck. Made his day!!!!!!!! Well here is the car all loaded up.
