i paid about $380 shipped a few years back, unfortunately i don't think Netami is built with the same quality these days, a friend got a pair and they were both universal with turn ***** for recliner adjustment and the padding was velcroed on but his were a new style of black that had just come out recently, these models may still be available which are driver/passenger oriented.

I have some cheap ebay APC knock off MAZDASPEEDS. they look good and ride fine, so I dont care if they were cheap. I think under 300 shipped. Although it was a bitch to get them in, because of the universal sliders, which I didnt use. I modified the stock sliders to fit.

iirc i think my seats were about 25 or so lbs each, only a true racing seat will be lighter than the stock seats... those suckers i lifted out with one finger.

Damn thats too bad cause all the racing seats I could possibly afford arent adjustable and they prob arent very comfortable especially for a guy like me who is a little wider across his shoulders.

These seats look really nice though

There are fixed buckets that fit most any person. I have a nice NEX racing seat, but I don't think they make the fixed ones anymore. Its only 11lbs, actually.

Here are mine... They are quite nice, but they are about half inch too high on the stock sliders, so I plan to modify em. I'll have my 2nd one put in some time in the near future. Pardon the rain- makes for some interesting pics...

ZeroDrift,

Just to let you know bro, those dinky fire extinguishers don't put out sqaut, especially if you have it for..lets say a possible pulsation dampener failure(if mod isn't already done) or even an engine bay fire for that matter. They are a very very small charge.
I got one at Lowes that is about a foot in size and is made for motor vehicles. Just have it stored in my back stow-away container. and it was only 15.00$.

Thanks- I'll go get a better fire extinguisher soon... I do have it for the PD failure scenario. I hope that its never needed, but better safe than sorry.

eatmyclutch: what do you mean by original one?

I have a question for all of you full bucket guys:

Did you find your stock seating position to be lowered with a full bucket seat?

I bought a bride zeta 3, but I've heard different things about seating position being lowered anywhere from 1-3 inches, as well as the position being raised slightly from stock. I definitely need the headroom as well as the angle to see the gauges correctly with my aftermarket steering wheel.

My Corbeau seats fit decent, the passenger side seems to be closer to the dash the the stock seats were. I'll get pics soon.
