Help me pick some seats

Which ones do you guys like? I'm really leaning toward Red...it also will tie in nicely to my guages...black is just too simple. It would be hard going from Orange to Black... but then again, the red stiching on the black seats are really nice.

hmm

black = clean and (relatively) stealth.

red = show car, look at me, blingomatic 3000


one of each?

I vote neither for getting the bride seats.

Go Recaro Sportline Topline. They are leather and they are heated and cooled with electronic backrest.

Love Bride seats...

I think the red ones are a little too bright for your car... Maybe if it was a deeper red, it would work, but i think the red shown just looks a little to ricey for your car...

I'd go with black.

I prefer the black one. Can you get the black seat with the Bride embroidery in red? Or maybe Bride in white with a red outline, or vice versa?

I think the red will set of the gray nicely, anyone saying the reds are rice, don't have a clue to what they are talking about

Go Black..the red stitching sets it off just enough to make ya do a double take.

That red is just too red

Your car is way too clean and almost "stealth" like to put bright red seats in.

I love the black w/red stitching though.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the Black... Red seems too bright as some pointed out. Here is an example, works great on a red car, but may be too much for my Z:

I like the red only if you had more red in your interior to complement it...

i recommend Corbeau seat in a nice leather two tone to more closely match your interior and almost look stock yet gives you the extra support for those nice corners!

Black w/ red stitching minus the repetitive Bride logos on the seatback. Get it without the 20 "Bride" logos in the middle.

Though I'm biased because I think ITR seats are the best thing ever....

This is the only seat I want:


I really like the color of your orange seats. And now that you're in a magazine you deserve something flashy. But yea, the red in the second pic you posted is a bit much. Hmmm.....I guess i'd just go w/ the black seats. kinda boring, but it's the safe choice.

Is it me or is the red seat falling apart on the lower front corner?? It looks like the seat cover is ripped or unraveling. If this is the quality of those seats then I would opt for Sparco or Recaro cost be damned. I had Sparcos in my Miata and Recaros in my Fiat. Never had a problem with either.

I saw these and fell in love. They are Cobra Misanos. For your car, I think nothing but a cognac color leather will do!
