NEX seat install
 
Well I finally got around to installing both NEX seats and the extinguisher. The seats are not as snug as the Sparco Evo 2's. Although they are a vast improvement over stock as far as support. I've been using them every day for the past three weeks and found them to be very comfortable. They do make getting in and out of the car somewhat of a chore though.

At $300 for the pair with brackets how can you go wrong?

That is if you can find the freakin' color you actually want :evil: . Hey sewing boy, I might need your help soon :wink: . I've said this numerous times before but I really love those seats Ted. Keep a good eye on them :twisted: . The weight savings is ridiculous compared to the stock seats.

Gonna need a damn long extension lead for that light, Ted.
Some guys will do anything for the bling value.

He's running it off an A/C inverter mounted in the trunk. Sure, it saps 10hp off the engine, but the bling factor is way worth it.

Time to make the rest of the interior black, eh Ted?

Don't worry Tony, that drop light is being replaced with a full under dash neon kit to go with my new rice seats. :P

Sewing Boy aye? Pari your price just went up to $1500 per seat. :twisted:

Chris, the Appbiz stuff gets ordered at the first of the year. The refinished wheels get picked up this Friday. Merry Christmas to me!

Great looking seats! :D They don't make 'em with a sub strap hole do they?

jpinkert 12-15-2004 09:17 PM

So you went with sew-on patches versus the iron-on ones? I know that stickers give 2hp each...what do these give you?

Mackpipes 12-16-2004 09:17 AM

Dave, these do have sub-strap holes. The construction seems pretty strong.

Josh, the patches give at least 50 rwhp, according to the e-bay ad. :wink:
Actually, I got the patches from Performance products.
The seats came with a head rest pillow velcroed to the seat. It had an NEX logo in yellow, looked real ricey. (Pari, insert comment here)
