Adding to my giant spent list, I bought carbon fiber GT3 seats. I bought them from imagine auto. First off, let me point out this picture.

BS!!!!! I was thinking an hour tops... no... more like 3 hours. You have to take the sliders off your old seats, that takes a long time. I had to use a torx socket bit, 13 mm open crescent wrench, 17mm socket, 13 mm socket, and it all sucked. Then you have to put them on the brackets, that also sucks, but no where near as bad. Then you have to put them on the seat, one seat was fine, one seat sucked, cause the holes werent in the right spot I had to stretch metal with my bare hands, lol. It may have been like a 1/3 of a mm, but if its off, its off. Then when you go to put the seats in, the sliders are hard to match up to the holes. So you have to pry them until they pop into place. I then undid the seat belt and put it through the seat hoop so it would look cool. Then I had to tape the seat belt plug into the harness since it doesnt lock into place anymore, I guess thats ok.

First impressions:

Look awesome
Carbon fiber is awesome
Feel good
Very supportive
Feel snug and I mean in a good way
Little lower than stock, enough to where I had to fix my rear view mirror
Very light (my guess is 10 pounds, easily lifted one handed)
Did I mention carbon fiber?
Very very stiff and strong, I put my hand over my head and couldnt bend them

Bad first impressions:

The second time I went to get in I hit my back on the edge of the seat, lol
The first time I went to pull my e-brake, I whammed the hell out of my elbow

Overall, they are awesome, just waiting till I buy some profi II's
I will take pictures this weekend.


Heres the same seats in the link.

Yup, lol. Except they were about a 1/10th of a shade lighter than the brackets so you cant even see them. In the pic they are white, mine are a dark grey.
