#101451, "Poll question: Are these allowed in a 2gnt?"




          

now i know that the eclipse was never made for the JDM market and there are no JDM parts for our car. (well asside from the Takata seatbelts we have)

but would it still be ok to put something that is truly JDM into our car? im not trying to scream "I'm JDM tight yo!", nor am i wanting to do the entire interior in the "Bride Gradated" fabric.
i just think they look cleaner then some of the Recaro and Momo offerings that are played out.

They are Bride Low Max GIAS seats with Carbon/Kevlar bucket and gradated fabric upgrade.

those seats are dead sexy. if you feel it will mess up the un-JDM-ness of your car I'll take them off your hands. I have a few vehicles that could use a little JDM flavor.

Too much eye candy and too many logos for my taste; Also the seat backs look bad golf pants from 1974. I realize what they are made of and how light they must be, The important thing is that YOU like them.

I think they are well worthy of being in a 2gnt. Thats like saying your car isnt worthy of a great seat because it has been put in a honda or they are "JDM". I say drop them in and rock them. They are great looking seats.

Who gives a rats ass if they are jdm.

That's like saying "you can't run an hks turbo or trust intercooler because it's jdm."

No tanabe exhaust....because it's jdm....

No tein shit....because it's jdm.....


Stupid.

Unless you put blatant jdm stickers over your car (you know what i'm talking about. Those green and yellow 'v' stickers...) and rhd, i'm not going to blackball you.

Buy the seats. They're hot as fuck and i think they'll match your car fine.

You shouldn't care what people think anyway. Your car is hotter than most on this site and i-m-o is VERY well done.

Goodnight sweetheart...yes its time to go...bum bum bum bum bum...good night sweetheart yes I am one little a$$hole......bum bum bum bum....

Here's my question. Since reclining seats are absolutely illegal for any kind of competition, those are just fancy seats for poseurs. Why would you spend more than a grand on race-look seats when you could pick up a set of www.subesports.com/products/cat/Seats/brand/Cobra/prodID/658 which are legal for actual competition for under $300 apiece?

actually many sanctioning bodies allow reclining race buckets outside the FIA. DTM for one, NASA and SCCA allow some reclinable buckets as well.

No shit. Doesn't sound too safe to me. When I stuff it, I don't want my seat to disintegrate. emoji

A good seat is a good seat no matter where it comes from. I actually had my eyes set on those for a while now! Think about it this way..... would you rather be a ricer with some horribly uncomfortable APC seats? If I had the spare cash laying around I would buy em! Good luck!

Looking at the construction on those, I'd trust em if I stuffed the car. the rotary adjustment knob looks tight and pretty heavy duty, and the brackets going up the side of the backrest are definitely beefy.

Besides, do you really want a French sanctioning body telling you what is safe? emoji




yes I know they govern over F1 and LeMans, I just had to poke fun at the french
