bi poler,I don't think so,but I do change my mind all the time.
All at the same time I want 17's,18's 20's 22's,springs with struts,coilovers,airgbags,hydraulics,hellaflush,tu cked,rolled,fast motor,quick trans,clean highs,damaging lows,chrome rims color matched wheels,gold wheels,all black wheels.crazy paint,light weight,exterior lighting ,interior lights.
And I'm sure I have hundreds of more thoughts too.
On 2nd thought,I maybe a little crazy since I'm so addicted to my hobbie.

Would you do seats like this in your cl or are they crap ?
They say 25lbs I'm just wonder how cheap the material on them is.
2 seats at 50lbs is lighter than the passenger seat by itself.
Something about the fiberglassed back I'm digging.

They are,just over $300 a set.
Will they just look good when new and then fall apart quickly ?
Or might they hold up.

Those two plates might be there for safety issue. If you get a set of forged rims you may save up to 50lbs total.

Find out what company makes them and google their track record.
