Why can't you just get some universal racing seats? I plan on doing this soon

i wouldnt do 5 point, maybe 4. you have to bolt em to the floor, and some how disconnect the original seatbelt harness

[Aidensgrand]

yes the colors are different.... and i was wanting to get blue too

racing seat belts are supposed to be mounted to a roll cage, otherwise its dangerous.. like if you mount them to the back of the seat or something.

thanks so installing racing style seats isnt a good idea unless i get a roll cage? damn. seat covers i suppose for now at least

[patyouknow]

racing seats are fine but racing seat belts are typically attached to a roll cage. they could be dangerous if mounted to something like the back seat or the back of the seat theyre being used in.. plus i honesly wouldnt trust an ebay racing seat belt.

you dont have to attatch them to a roll cage! lol ya get a harness bar, which goes right behind the seat. its a bar that goes from left to right of the car about head height and connects to where the ld seatbelts used to come out of.

your gonna be lookin at about $2500-$3000 for all this. including seats, hardware, belts, and harness bar.

jesus christ!!!!! that much money to buy universal seats!?!?! i cant just take the stock ones out and put these in? or will i have to get an entirely different, for a lack of a better word, "sliding rack" that the seat sits on? that blows

If you're ginna buy racing seats, go all out and buy recaro seats, or check on evo/sti forums for lightly used seats. i know their stock seats are like recaro
