Jegs Seats installed!

yesterday i spent about 4 hours installing my new jegs sport seats with my buddy...overall it was an easy install as keven mentioned in his thread, but it was a bit time consuming to do the passenger seat....

Passenger-i needed to bolt the stock frames to the back bolts on the new seat using the existing holes, and drill new holes in the frame for the front 2 bolts....then i just widened the holes about a 1/4" on the tabs on the slider that bolt to the floor.

Driver- i just drilled 4 new holes in the stock aluminum part of the slider and bolted the frame right to the seat....the floor mounting tabs were not modified.

The only thing i dont like about these seats is that they are about 1" higher than the stock ones off the floor, and when putting my arm on the passenger seat to turn about and back up, the bolster is in the way of my arm. Other than that i give these seats a 9/10....DEFINATELY a great buy!:nice:

i bought the car from a used car dealer, but i think the previous owner was a smoker because the car smelled like it when i test drove it, and the wheel was kinda sticky...im lookin into another wheel soon..

Thats cool. Anyways, I'm glad you posted the pics. I have the exact same interior as you (except for the damn click-click box in mine lol) and I wanted to see how the black would look instead of the tan seats. It looks good.

You mentioned it sitting a bit high. Is that comparing it to the lowest position on the power seat? Just wondering.

That might have been a separate issue altogether. :rlaugh: J/K man.

Seriously, the seats look great and you did a nice job with the install. I have wanted some of the Jegs/Summit seats for a long time. It just aint in the budget. :(

Very nice.

What does the seat bottom feel like? Does it feel real flat or is there some decent cushion there?

I've got Corbeau black seats in mine with the same interior as yours and couldn't be happier. The black seats look so much better than before.
they have EXCELLENT cusion on the bottom....and the bolsters are also very padded....the back is cushy, but not like a pillow....its definately livable:D :D
