Please don't get those, the color looks like it was added in Microsoft Paint.

don't do it. aftermarket racing seats in bases looks so tacky. you got a body kit? i think it wouldn't look so forced if you do.

Seats are one of the most intregal pieces of safety equipment in your car. If you're willing to trust your safety to no-name eBay seats, just realize the risk you're taking.

If it were me, I wouldn't settle for anything less than Sparco, Recaro, Bride, etc.

i doubt you're gonna see this guy running next to you at the track cat. really though this is sound advice, although i stand behind my previous statement.

i'd look at corbeau.. they have some nice cheaper seats.. gravana sells a set of tenzo's with brackets and everything for like 700 as said i'd spend the money and get some decent seats... either that or get the evo copys or rsx copys on ebay.. my friend has the evo copys they've actually pretty nice. I'd say dont get anything with PVC/ synth leather the material you have on those are actually the good kind.. you want a jeans like material not a clothe. they hold up better

ebay has a set of redline recaros i think

those aren't bad

I wouldn't touch no-name eBay seats even if I never took the car over 35mph. It's a big risk. If you're willing to take the chance for looks, that's fine but the guy should at least understand he's sacrificing safety for the sake of "appearance".

check the width, I know you'd need to make the brackets work..

the honda ones should work no problem they're the same style as the tenzos that say they fit.. however idk about the evo ones
