I want to do something to my seats. I want them to be red and black and would really like them to be more comfortable. I've been contemplating several things:

Recovering existing seats in leather - Looks nice, but not more comfortable

Getting T/A seats - That would work but I'd want them to be red or red/black. There were some rare T/As that have red leather seats but they're hard to find and I can't afford buying the seats and getting them recovered if they're not red.

Getting Sparco Torino red seats - That would work but I would like to keep the back seats. Would it look stupid if I left them in with the racing seats and maybe dyed them to match the Sparcos?

Are there any other options I'm missing? Opinions and comments needed.

 

Take a look at my sig....I have custom black and red leather. I think its pretty comfortable and looks AWESOME!!!!!

 

I've seen yours before and I really like your seats but that wouldn't make my seats more comfortable. I got the seats in my last Z recovered but I think they actually took some padding out because they were less comfortable.

 

What about neoprene covers...I think they are from wetokle or something. I know they make them but i'm not sure where to get them.....someone else probably has the link. Thanks for the compliment on the interior!

 

I've seen that site and I like them but I don't think that would help the comfort either. I really wish there was more support in the lower back area. Oh and np on your interior, very nice.

 

just tilt your seat back so your laying back lower, that how i deal with it and i think it's comfortable, Although the firebird seats are better shaped the damn chevy leather is much nicer so you can't win. I like the lt1 firebird head rests best too, the new ones look nice but the older ones look more confortable. I think putting these racing seats in a non-race car looks like rice even if its in a camaro, its just bad taste, the styles don't match at all. There's nothing worse than seeing a once completely beautifly styled american muscle car with freakin europeon seats, the styles just don't match people. I mean all the damn ricers put these stupid racing seats in like it turns their cars into real race competetors and its one of the things that looks like clown cars, i don't anything to do with that.

 

can someone tell us who sells the neoprene covers, i would like to see them.

 

I agree mostly, but some of them look nice and I think if you just use regular seat belts instead of racing harnesses it wouldn't be too bad. I would rather have a solution for some regular seats though if I had the option. These are the ones I'm looking at:

thanks for helping me by posting those links. I know you don't want rice seats, it's one of the things that bothers me, especially because a lot of people here do it. It has that image in my mind as something ricers do to make their cars look fast and it's just really stupid because the seats look thin and cheap and they're always some rediculos color that matches nothing else on the car. And these goobers with 5 point belts, give me a break, your not flying an f-15, your driving a car for crying out loud. don't they know they just look like geeks and wimps straping on 5 belts. Same thing with these roll cages, why would anyone spend thousands of dollars, tear up the car, lose the backseat use and make your car look like crap just in case you flip over. I looked at this camaro for sale once and the geek had a roll cage so the car could only seat one person.

 

You ever seen what happens to one of these cars when they get flipped? Or run over by a drunk in a eighteen wheeler (that's how my Z got totalled)? Frankly I don't care if you ever race or not, I think a cage (or roll bars) is a good idea. And you can get cages that allow you to still use all your seats. I agree that if you don't need it then a 5 point harness is overboard but to each his own.

 

Sorry to get off topic but I love the seats in my Z but one day I plan on swapping in some Firebird or TA seats. Not because I think they are more comfortable but because to me the look a hundred times better. I think Sparco's don't look out of place unless they are in some color that totally doesn't match the car which is what most people seem to do.
