If you are willing to spend $3K on wheels, skirting, spoilers, shift knobs, lowering springs etc...but then want to go cheap on the very thing keeping you from getting ejected from the car? The seats are NOT cosmetic... they really are safety equipment, like your brakes.
I think people forget that the seats are not just things to plant your butt in.
Most low end seats are made of pepsi can grade metals. Who knows where the replicas are made or how they are made. Those seats have to be able to withstand a side impact with a Lincoln Navigator and not crush into your kidneys.
Not to mention the expensive seats always sell quickly if you do decide to sell them seperately from your car.
