Need help with seats.

I was originally looking at Nurburgring seats, but it seems like Cobra RS seats look just as good, and are steel frame.http://www.subesports.com/products/c...ra/prodID/1986

These? http://www.ompracing.it/detail.html?...tcode=HA/757/N

A lot of replica RS sears are made just for look and not to be driven in daily. Many times they are made by an artisan's basement, without much thought being given to how it's going to hold up in a crash, or feel like after 30,000 miles of seat time.

I figure since OMP and Cobra seats are made by car seat company, they'd be better choices.

I went with Patrickvr6's suggestion. They're not steel framed but they're steel reinforced factory replicas.

Radio still looks a little off, but better than the Becker.

It's a hell of a good head unit too.

Been test driving. Been driving to work in the old gal every day lately. I never have a passenger, so no vids, but I'll put some up when I can.

The car feels fantastic! Sounds amazing.

 

Both my truck and my wife are jealous!

Sorry long time no post. I've been a busy bee!

Anyway, the car pulls hard as hell! Pulls every bit as hard as a 997 GT3 IMO. Manual brakes give the car such a great feel, but the stopping power is far from vintage. Turns on a dime and doesn't feel squirly.

Sounds even better from outside the car.
