It's cool dude.

Not calling you a ricer, you have one hella badass car but the APC brand in general is marketed to ricers and typically made with poor quality. I understand it's tempting to go there because of the price, but personally I could never live with myself if I had anything APC in my car. hehe.

But hey .. as long as they work for you that's great. I'd just find a way to cover up that logo on the seat.

I bought my e speed racing ones on ebay for less than 300 shipped. I replaced my stock seats since they were ripping in several places. I had to reuse the stock brackets, which is nice now that they are on..but it was a pita project! they sent brackets, and said they would work, but there is no way they were fitting! here is a pic:



those seats are not expensive at all...if they rip or break down...doesn't matter..not like you are spending a thousand bucks on them...

how are the recliner mechanisms on the seats? how safe and sturdy would they be in a crash? i was checking out the cobra seats that use the recaro recliners

http://www.subesports.com/products/...172.170.98&cat=Seating&brand=Cobra&prodID=667 shipped to my house would be 1400

I would be concerned with safety issues on those seats, check out Cobra and ask why they are more expensive.

Im curious what these safety concerns are?

Pepboys also sells some decent looking seats for around $180 each.

in front end or rear end collisions the recliner can break forward or rearward. if its a single locking is weaker then double.

if you need a good laywer after buying the wrong seats

Corbeau CR1's here...ordered them in cloth...when they got here, had them done in 2-tone leather...dark charcoal down the middle...black everywhere else. Had to order replacement brakets too...install was a breeze.

Wow, those look nice. How much were they/where did you get them from?

Thanks 40th.

www.corbeau.com

Prices are on the site. I think the seats (CR1s) are around $400 per seat in cloth, and the brackets are like $75 for the pair....I ordered the inflatable lumbars too.

The upholstery was a custom job...but you nearly double the price of each seat. Going with custom 2-tone leather was actually cheaper than ordering them in leather from Corbeau..and Corbeau will only do one-color leather.
